Three Sticks o' Butter

I managed to overcome my restless wanna eat feeling yesterday and am happy to report a 0.8 loss at my WI today! This may not seem like a cause for great joy, but it IS. I've never been a fast loser, but I have steadily lost weight. I've lost 46 pounds since March with only one week where I had a gain, 0.2 pounds. I'm now within 10 pounds of my goal weight and all my weight loss mentors say the last 10 are the hardest. The WW site has a little sidebar that encourages people with under one pound losses. A stick of butter weighs 0.25 pounds. This week, I whittled more than THREE sticks of butter from my frame. Take THAT, Paula Deen!
