So I have been on my diet for three weeks now and just had to weigh myself. I wanted to see if I had lost any weight. I was surprised when I noticed I lost 5lbs. I am so happy. I mean I don’t mind losing weight slowly. I have read when you lose a lot of weight in a short period of time you gain it right back plus more once you get off the diet. I am not in any rush to lose the weight. I am just giving myself a goal date (which is the 1st day of summer) as a motivation to continue doing my diet. This week was a hectic week with my diet. We had two snow days and I was off from work. It was hard being home and watching television with no snack. My mom picked me up “Smart Popcorn” with light butter. I was surprised how good it was at only 100 calories. However, today my mom was making cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. They smelled delicious and I really wanted one. I decided to split one cupcake with my mom. At first I was disappointed. I have been going so well on my diet and I felt the cupcake messed it up. But, it really didn’t. I could have sat there and ate 12 cupcakes, but I only had half. I realized that some day’s salad and grilled chicken are not what I want to eat; I am going to want to have a piece of cake or a burger. It’s not like I am going to eat it every day, but once in a while I think it’s ok to splurge in moderation. And that is exactly what I did. After thinking about it, I was proud that I controlled myself and ate something I wanted. A diet to me is not about eating healthy food all the time, because I know some days it might not work out like that. As long as I stick to my diet, once in a while would not be bad to treat myself to a piece of cake or a cupcake. It’s all about moderation and proportions!
