Halloween LOSS

So, I admitted Halloween was scary to me... not because of ghosts or giant spiders... Because of CANDY! My willpower has fallen short on many occasions due to chocolate. 

This is the time of year I began to gain weight in 2008, after having lost 98 pounds from Jan-Oct. I have a hard time trusting myself, but I am very aware and honest with myself about it this year. 

We walked and walked with the boys and cousins last night, visited great aunty's house (where it was a candy free for all)... I kept my camera around my neck and stayed busy photographing everyone else. I did not have one piece of candy the whole night. Victory!

This morning I weighed, and I am down a half pound from my last weigh in. DOWN, the morning after Halloween. VICTORY!

I'm thankful we can become aware of our struggles, be honest with ourselves (and those who encourage and support us), pray, and have VICTORY over them!!!

I'm not losing fantastic this week, but I am not going over my calorie counts, so the loss will catch up to the effort soon!
