I haven’t weighed myself in over a month and assumed my weight wouuld be well above the line that gets me to a 25 pound weight loss by the end of 2008. But, it turns out, it’s right on the line!

Part of that is due to getting well ahead earlier in the year. But part of it is because a bad day of eating just isn’t what it used to be. The new healthier habits I’ve developed over the last couple of years have an effect even on bad days. I might have one or two junky things on a bad day, but I don’t spend the whole day grazing junk food anymore. And I don’t have more than one or two bad eating days in a row—I just start feeling drawn back to my kitchen and to healthier foods.
