And the Sun is Shining Upon Me (although its raining outside)

La, la, la, la! Today I am walking in the clouds because I, Gia, have lost eight pounds! My scale read 253.8 this morning! Whoopee! I want to scream it from the hill tops! Like the Sound of Music! Well, I know I'm still really heavy, but just think, I have lost 8 pounds! That is almost 10!
I know what is making the difference. I have zipped my mouth after dinner to not pig out like I normally do. It also helps that I have been snacking very healthy.
My meals consisted of this yesterday:
Morning- two egg whites with tomato and cheese and oatmeal
Snack- (i wasn't hungry) but i forced myself to eat a small tablespoon of peanut butter
Lunch- wheat pasta with low-fat cheese, lean turkey, and ricotta
Snack- weight watchers yogurt and some grapes
Dinner- some pork shoulder with a tad bit of rice
That's it, I didn't eat anything else. I also drank a TON of water and my usual two cups of green tea.
Last night, as I was reading my book "Secrets of a Former Fat Girl" my mind kept trying to coerce me to go get a snack and pig out. But no, its not an option! I worked out too hard at the gym to go and mess it up at night.
Hopefully, if it stops raining, I will go to the gym for lunch (the gym is located in another building across the parking lot). Either way, I plan on squeezing in a workout right after work. Yes, I am exchanging my food addiction for a workout addiction. But working out does not make me gain weight!
By the way, that book I'm reading, is AWESOME. Finally, a writer that REALLY, REALLY relates to being a fat girl.
