Backward slide

So, it's been about a week since I started this blog.  I thought I was being careful but intead of losing weight, I've actually packed on 1.5 pounds.  That makes it a grand total of ___6.5.  I am not sure whether I should laugh or cry so I might just settle for trying to maintain my cool and getting a better grip on things.  I was out for dinner last night and ate well but did not overdo it.  I feel good about the fact that faced with several tempting desserts, I tried slivers of different ones rather than full or even half portions.  I have to remind myself that delicious as it all is, I can have more another time.  After all, it isn't the Green Mile and there are lots of goodies to come.  My resolve for this week is to keep better track of what I am eating and when and why.  Maybe that will help me solve my problems.  Hope you are all having a good week.
