First of all - I really have to thank everyone that is reading this. Many of you have sent me personal emails with words of motivation, tips on a healthy life or just telling me your story. I have to say that they have all been extremely motivational! So please continue to do so, and know you're welcome to post in the comments here anytime. Knowing there are people following my journey makes me work that much harder!
I literally tossed and turned last night worried about this morning. I knew I had worked hard, but I also knew I probably could have done more. I made a promise to myself that even if I hadn't lost any weight (or worse yet, gained some,) I wouldn't stop trying. So I held my breath and stepped on the scale........ 6.8 lbs LOST!!! In one week I lost nearly 7 lbs. I'm sure a good amount of it was water weight that always comes off in the first week, but it was much higher than the 2-3 lb goal I set for myself!
I'm so proud of my first week's progress, but know I have a long way to go! Time to add exercise to the mix and continue towards my final goal!
Things learned this week:
1. I will eventually have to deal with the emotional issues tied to my overeating
2. I need to think before I eat
3. Substitute, don't eliminate
4. Try new foods - even ones I thought I hated
5. Not everything I make will be good - I'm bound to fail at cooking/baking from time to time.

Good job, keep it up!
Great lessons learned! My favorite is to never stop trying. Failure can breed success if you recognize your mistakes and not punish yourself for them.
Awesome job! Keep up the good work. :)
