Another goal reached

This morning the scale shows me down enough to have achieved another goal--a major goal.  I was so excited that I moved the scale to three different places on the floor and weighed again, but the results were consistent.  It's been years!  I wonder if this doesn't prove the wisdom of including the occasional "splurge", as suggested in the book. Not big "splurges", but small pleasures.  Last weekend involved some big "splurges", and I've been quite worried.  Maybe allowing myself to relax about  doing that, helped me re-confirm my resolve.  My next goal is not far away, so I have something immediate to help me stay on the straight and narrow, and not celebrate today with food.
