Beginning of Week 3- 265.4lbs

So official weigh-in has me down 3.4- good stuff! I have now surpassed the ten pound mark. Just over 10lbs. in 21 days. Not bad, not bad. Still have so far to go but I try not to think about it. This weekend was a bit of a challenge, but one that I did navigate successfully. At a party I wound up sitting _at_ the desert table. I'm talking pies, cakes, these special little donut thingies that came from an apple orchard. I must of been at that table for over an hour. The coconut creme pie was definitely calling me. Call me crazy if you want, I was staring at it and it was staring right back at me. Especially since there was this little *sliver* of a piece..it was like, "It's o.k. I'm just a little sliver of pie. You'll be fine. It's just a taste." But I resisted. Some way, some how. Also I was sitting directly in front of a pumpkin pie that looked really good. I guess I just want this so bad, moreso than cake or pie or anything like that.

I did have two beers though. The one was a pumpkin spice beer (*really* good!) and the second I just had because I thought I was going to have to hop in the hot tub there in order to avoid social ostracization. I hadn't even brought a suit. Luckily it was all unnecessary. I have the same fear/phobia of taking off my shirt in public that most people do of public speaking to really, really large crowds. I'd much rather speak to the large crowd. Or go pantless. I can deal w/ going pantless. This issue though, will be explored at a later time in more depth.
