Not that I was way off track, but the last few days I have been less than "angelic" about what I eat.  I found a stash of chocolate and just couldn't leave it alone.  Weekends are my downfall.  With the rest of the family home and eating whatever they please, I find it very hard to stay under my 1600 cal/day.  It doesn't help me that they don't appreciate my healthier meals. 

But I was so glad to see that my efforts are still paying off.  For weigh-in today, I still managed to lose just over 3 pounds this week.  So today I stopped beating myself up over the chocolate and am more motivated than ever to keep at it.

Lesson learned:  It's OK to indulge a little, give the craving a nibble every now and then.  Just don't go overboard and then throw the towel in.  Small steps win the race.  It's not a sprint to the goal weight.
