Lost 1/2 pound. The weird thing about weight loss I learned over my 2-year saga to lose 50 pounds is to never, ever give up (I had kind of forgotten that).

I can totally stick to my eating plan, not lose anything for a couple of weeks (plateau) and then, all of a sudden, start losing again.

It is during that discouraging phase that I can go off the rails but refuse to do so today.

Another mind-trick I had forgotten about, in addition to only focusing on 10 pounds at a time; is to call each 10 a decade instead of pounds. Sounds silly but it worked for me to decrease focus on pounds. Now I have 1 pound to go to get into my next decade.

Discouraging to know I was already in this place over a year ago and am again having to retrace my steps but it is what it is. I just can't focus on that.

Breakfast today, egg-white scramble with one once of lean ham; cup coffee with Splenda and my teaspoon of half-in-half.

Cheers to all!
