To help people believe they can achieve victory, put them in a position to experience small success!

Today was no fun. I finally caught the bug that came home from school. I was not feeling so good. I did drink my two shakes. I really did not feel like eating. The strawberry cheesecake flavor is like a comfort food for me so it worked out well!

We are going to Detroit to see the father-in-law. We lost his wife this past May to cancer. She was affectionately known as the step-monster, or Mother Mary. She was a great lady and we are all missing her very much. This is our first trip to visit since she passed. We were fortunate to be with her when she passed. So the house has lots of good memories, and reminders of her.

I have come to realize I am a total emotional eater. I think this trip is going to be a test. I am taking my shakes and will have healthy snacks. My fabulous sister-in-law is a vegetarian, so it will be easier! I guess I have to realize that eating does not help and I need to deal with stress in different ways!

I will post my weight LOSS tomorrow! Fingers crossed. My fear is that I will not lose 10lbs in one week and get discouraged. I know that idea is unrealistic but that is what happens every time I try to diet. I have set my goal at 3lbs. I am thinking that I may have done it. My jeans are already a little less tight. We will see!!
