Diet Update - Week 2

I’m stuck. I’m still a couple of pounds above my goal weight, but really, I would like to be a few pounds below my goal weight so when I weigh myself at any time of day I am not over my ideal weight. I woke up the other morning finally feeling thin, but that was before breakfast and I haven’t felt that way since. Dieting is more difficult this time. I haven’t touched a cookie, scoop of ice cream or piece of cake in 17 days (I know this doesn’t sound like a long time but for me it feels like an eternity!) and to still be above my goal weight is so discouraging. I know it’s partly due to the fact that I haven’t been sweating my butt off in exercise classes every day while eating good, like I was before the baby. I'm lucky if I can get 30 minutes in more than three times a week. I just have to accept that the weight loss will be much slower this time around. I am finally feeling comfortable without wearing one of the seven hoodies I purchased to cover up my post pregnancy belly, so I know I have made a lot of progress. I wonder if cutting back on watching the food network will help my weight loss since I do still indulge in staring (and drooling) at all the most delicious looking desserts just about every minute of the day. Perhaps when I do lose the weight I’ll think about tackling my other favorite habit: torturing myself.
