Wasn't that a nice blog that I wrote yesterday morning before the weigh-in?  Didn't it say all the right motivating things?  Wasn't it a good "look ahead not back", "don't beat yourself up", "tomorrow's a brand new day", "blah blah blah" speech?  Today it's a different story and I'm thinking that yesterday's blog was/is a bunch of baloney.   Today I'm kicking myself for wasting the last month.  What an idiot! The weight gain I had at the official weigh-in was minor (only .2 pounds - less than a quarter of a pound ((did someone say quarter-pounder?)) but bottom line a gain is a gain.  @#$%  Guess the lesson about making things harder for myself hasn't sunk in yet.  Back to square one.  The days FLY by sometimes and you have to make time to think about it EVERY DAY or before you know it, three/four weeks have gone by and you're kicking yourself.  Fooey!  Get with the program! Barb P.S. Great job to everyone in the contest for making it through the first month!  It was encouraging to see all the positive results for contestants - keep doing what you're doing!  Seeing it in the paper next Sunday gives an extra boost/incentive to keep working!
