Weight Loss Ticker

It's Been A While, But I'm Still Here!

I feel like I haven't written in a while, and there's a reason for that.  My best friend and her son are in town!  They are here and it makes my days a little more busy and a lot more wonderful.
I have had some great success with weight loss this past week, with a whopping 6.2 lbs.  Can you say WHOA? :D  Yeah, I freaked when I saw the scale.  Which this puts me at only 3.6 lbs until I have reached my first goal of 270 lbs.  That makes 19 lbs in a few days over a month.  That is ridiculous!
 I know it is going to be slowing down and I am prepared for that, but this is a great start, right?
I saw my first friend that hasn't seen me in a while on a day trip yesterday and her reaction was great.  Part of me is so happy to see that proud look in this friend's eyes, but I also worry.  What if I can't keep this up?  What if I can't encourage myself to keep going and make myself work hard and exercise and what if I fail???
I have so many doubts and so many thoughts that I know are keeping me from success.  I know that seeing those numbers on the scale drop every week is such a joy but it also brings something up in me to sabotage.  I love fitting into my "not the fattest" pants (face it, skinny pants are for skinny people).  But, part of me still wonders if I can fit into the "not the second fattest" pants.
I guess this is the long way of me saying I had a burrito or two for dinner tonight instead of soup.  :(  So, I had a bad day.  And I had a road trip yesterday and ate out a bit, so it wasn't the best day either.
BUT,
I have renewed faith in the system.  6 lbs in one week, 5 lbs in another, 4 lbs in the first week--my system must work for something, right?!
So back to the system I go!
