Can You Call it a Victory if You Cheated?

This is week 10 and I weighed in on 8/25.  I lost 3.4 pounds this week!  lol Go me!  That puts my total weight lost at 7.4 pounds.  In my personal booklet they wrote that after 7 pounds I would reach my 5% goal, so I was really excited and wanted to make sure I got my prize sticker for it.  When I asked the lady to put my name on the list, she informed me that my 5% weight loss goal is 8 pounds, not 7, since they are supposed to round up.  So, no sticker this time.  Needless to say my balloon was officially deflated.

As for the cheating part, I had had some kind of stomach flu/virus since the previous Sunday.  I was nauseous every time I ate and had zero appetite (which is so not me!).  I was eating only one meal a day and then would feel sick for several hours after that.  So it kind of feel like cheating when I practically starved myself and lost almost 4 pounds.  My body is going to go into shock this week when I start feeling better and eating more!

As a bonus this week, my clothes are starting to feel looser, although that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.  I like having looser pants and shirts, but shrinking boobs are no fun.  I don't know how anyone can still be 38 around and have a smaller cup size!  It's frustrating let me tell you...

I'm starting to feel more like myself today and actually ate a giant baked potato, although now the smell of stale BBQ sauce is making me want to barf.  I have some Reese's mini cups in the fridge I have been dying to eat, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Learn Something New This Week: I've been on WW and have been dieting my butt off for 10 weeks now and the only proven method to get the weight off is to have the stomach flu!
