hard work pays off

Wow, today was a very good day for me.  I have worked very hard all week to stay on program and today was my weigh in day and it went very well.  All my struggling and dealing and hard work paid off.  Today I showed a weight loss of 4.2 lbs!!!  That was great when I realized how much I lost but the funny thing is that I didnt even realize that I lost that much cuz I have been struggling so much these past few weeks that little by little I was gaining so my weight had crept up a bit so when I saw what the final weight showed, I wasnt all that excited.  Then when I sat down and opened my book and saw the total weight loss, I was pleasantly surprised!  I know I have worked hard and I know my son has also worked hard with me and for me.  He is brave, I'll tell you that much cuz there were days when I really did struggle and he really stuck his neck out there to help me get through the moment.  This little triumph is as much his as it is mine.  Thank you son.  Now onto another great week and now I am just gonna be anxious all over again waiting for Monday to come around again!  Have a great week!
