I did it.  I have completed 7 days without going over my calories.  Tonight I kept track of all of my pizza and I had a glass of wine.  I ate all of my calories for the day, but I didn’t go over.  I can’t wait to weigh in tomorrow morning.  I am hoping it is a really good success.  I also don’t have any plans of not going over every single day in a week next week or any other time– as it is really hard and I need to have a day to go a little over.  For instance, tonight I am sitting here writing as my family all eat ice cream cones.  I really want one.  If I have one, I will go over my calories… so today I won’t.  But going forward, I am still losing weight even when I have little indulgences… so I know it is ok to build those in.  I will be interested to see how well I do tomorrow having not gone over all week.  I also am looking forward to an ice cream cone.  And I am most excited about camping this coming week– we will see how eating goes…
