Women, Phenomenally

My pattern in the past has been to start a diet do fine for a while, cheat one day, and then give up as if one day of cheating ruined the entire diet and rendered me incapable of any weight loss.
This time things have been different. As you all have seen from my posts I have slipped, fallen, and picked myself back up and kept going several times over the last month. Today was one of those face in the mudd days. I had chocolate and a cup cake. It wasn't horrible. I probably went over on my calories by a couple hundred. I felt guilty, but this time I didn't feel like throwing my hands in the air and saying "Forget it. I can't do this."
I went shopping today and tried on clothes. I fit into a size 14 fairly comfortably. I didn't buy them because I don't want to stop here. I will buy new clothes when I can fit into a 12.
For my one month reward, I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow. I'm taking miss Erin with me for her birthday. It should be fun. :)
