You feel like you're sacrificing... but it doesn't show on the scale

The key lime pie I didn't eat

I'll admit to being a little disappointed. You know how when you're watching what you're eating and you feel like you're sacrificing so much... and not only does the scale not budge, but it goes up a little? Frustrating, right? That's the point I'm at right now.

I can even list most of the things I haven't had over the past few days. Just say no, right?
Today: Italian cookies, an Italian hot pressed sandwich, key lime pie, gobs of ranch dressing
Yesterday: Cheese and crackers, mini quiches, Olive Garden breadsticks!
Sunday: Fried calamari, French fries, beer

Get the gist?

I've also done plenty of things right. So maybe it will all work out eventually. But yikes, only 9 days until we leave for Italy. I wanted to have lost 10 lbs by departure time. Only kidding...


Day 14: 46.4 lbs to go
