Progress

199.2 yesterday, and 198.8 today. Incremental progress every day! well, almost every day. I've taken to adding a second weigh in before dinner in the evening. This is really obsessive, and probably not helpful, but it gives me a forecast of what I could be in the morning. This helps me control my appetite at dinner. Actually, if it's low I want to eat less because I will set a new low, and if it's high I want to eat less because I don't want to go backwards.
I bought a "baby loaf" of hot pepper jack cheese and cut a few slices for dinner to go with either a small steak or a few slices of summer sausage. You can make a steak and if you cut it in half you can eat it for two days, or in thirds eat it for three days. This is good for your pocket book as well as for your belly.

Last comment for today...make sure you eat enough. The worst thing you can do is to stay on the diet all day, and then be starving at night and munch snacks throughout the night...or even worse, binge on a pint of ice cream. Good to not have binge-foods in the house, btw.
