Oh, this is much better. It's still not as good as it could be, but I am seeing 377.8 lbs on the scale again. Yay!
Maybe this will start a downward trend if I'm lucky. Who knows. I'm not going to count any chickens. They haven't hatched yet, and that just leads to bad planning.
I really, really, really, truly, desperately want to see 376 lbs on my scale. It will be a small victory, but it will make me feel a lot better than I do right now. I'm stuck at the high point on my graph right now, and I'm very discouraged.
This is a down-blip. I'm happy with that, but I want more. I want to drop lower than my lowest point so far since starting this diet, and the lowest number I have seen is 377.4 lbs. I'm never satisfied; right? Losing roughly 37 lbs is huge! But it's not good enough.
