Could it be... progress?

After months of hovering around 180, I think the diet is finally working somehow.

Last Monday after weeks of going off the diet, I weighed 180.5, and I promised myself I would seriously stick to the diet this week, that I wouldn't skip meals or half-ass or decide around Wednesday that it wasn't working and order Chinese.

Today I weighed in at 176.5, a new low. It also means I've lost 25.5 pounds since beginning this endeavor way back when. Not as much as I'd like, but hey, I'll take it.

Perhaps something finally clicked with my metabolism. Perhaps it's all that water. Perhaps it was simply sticking on the damn diet for once.

Whatever it is, I'll take it, and I'm encouraged to do more to feel this way again.
