Day 7

Well, tomorrow is the day. I will get up and go get weighed and see if I have officially lost weight. I weighed myself at home twice this week but am trying not to obsess. Last year I did the Atkins diet and got on the scale every morning as I lost weight every day, but the trouble with that diet is, even if you lost 80 pounds, as soon as you eat a potato or a piece of bread, you are instantly back at your old weight. Okay, that's a lie, but it feels that way to me.

My husband Jeff normally works at home, but had to drive to his office today and we only have one car. This means I can't leave my office for lunch today. I packed enough Core foods to make it across the Mojave Desert. I just wanted to be on the safe side, I mean if I got hungry and didn't have Core foods handy, we all know my fat face would be wolfing down leftover birthday cake.
