Progress!

Well, I know what the secret is (for me, anyway.)

I have been stalled for...what, three weeks?

It's all about the water. I started logging it on Sunday morning, and I have finally cracked the plateau and am headed back down. Hallelujah!

As of today, I have lost 15 lbs. 15 lbs total in EIGHT LONG MONTHS, not counting the pounds I lost, regained, and lost over again (several times).

So, just under 2 lbs. a month. Still...It's progress. And if I hadn't been watching my eating, I am sure that I would weigh more now than I did when I started.

It's a scale victory! Hey, I'll take what I can get.

I saw Little Miss Sunshine the other day. Parts of it were hilarious, and parts of it just broke my heart. There's this scene where the little girl orders ice cream for breakfast, and her father gives her this big lecture about how it's made from cream and turns to fat in your body, which makes YOU fat, and you don't want that, do you? etc.

I remember having a version of this conversation with my dad when I was 10. (The little girl was wearing the same glasses I had back then, too!) It was horrible. I almost started crying in the movie theatre, which makes me feel like a big dork to admit, but it was truly awful.
