Weight loss, is it real?

I have struggled off and on for a long time with my weight, and trying to lose a few pounds. Lets say 10,just 10. Thats like a big beef roast, or enough hamburger to feed 10 people....Not a lot you say? In order to lose this much, one has to be determined and brave, and ambitious. Okay, I think I am all of those, but just about the time I see a nice result, like say 2 pounds gone, I think oh yay I should reward myself. This starts me back on the path of destruction. One cookie.....one piece of cake....Five cookies AND a glass of milk! Yes, its all about sweets with me. I could do without real food easily...Well, not this time! I have lost that 2 pounds and my reward will NOT be food. I will go to a movie and NOT eat there expensive treats. I will drink water and just enjoy the movie with my dear grandaughter. I will continue on my road to recovery from my sweets addiction and be good to myself for a change....Okay, off to my 15 minute mile, good heath and fitting in all my clothes....Yay for me!!!!!!
