Weekly weigh-in: What did I expect?

I was hoping for better, but I knew I would be lucky to lose anything this week. I lost a half pound, bringing my total to 78 1/2 pounds. And getting me ever closer to my goal of 80 pounds by the end of the year. The next two weeks are going to be filled with lots of holiday temptations, but I still think I can do it. Considering how much I've eaten and drank in the past couple of weeks, I know that losing even a few pounds this time of year is a miracle. But I've been enjoying myself and will use this as a sign that I can maintain my healthy habits for the rest of my life because even when I splurge I don't really overdo it.
