Getting my head on straight

I make myself crazy.

I have the most conveluted expectations for my weight loss. Let me just share with you. I have been super focused on eating right, along with maintaining my exercise program, since July 1st. Let's take a look at the calendar...uh...yeah, it is now July 3rd. I've been fully focused for just over 48 hours. So I step on the scale this morning and see that I've dropped a pound and a half. I'm silent. Quiet and staring at the dial of the scale while reading the digital figure. Quiet disappointment.

HOW CAN THIS BE???? I'VE BEEN EATING RIGHT AND THERE IS ONLY A 1.5 DROP???

Now I know this is crazy, so there is no need to email me or send a psychiatrist to my home. If I step outside of my own head space, I can see that this is better than expected and that in reality, a two pound per week loss is a healthy goal.

But still...

In my head I'm screaming. What would make me happy? Seeing it drop 5 this morning. Again, I know that this is crazy, but it is what I'm feeling. It isn't going to derail my efforts. I'll keep on chugging along with the reality of what is.

More of the same for today...exercise...six small meals...rinse and repeat.
