Day 15 -diet: Life Improvement

Well, the good news is it's day 15 and I have stayed focused and on track, with only a few minor exceptions, for 14 days.  I have gone from 191.5 pounds and now saw 185.6 today on the scale.  So I've lost 6 pounds in 14 days.  I've been through a lot of temptations: a birthday party; Disneyland; an ice cream parlor; three church functions with all my favorite goodies; a day at the beach; and just all the average every-day temptations.  But today -day 15, at only 11:15 AM I feel is going to be my hardest day.
I don't know why.  I just feel like giving up.  I won't.  But I do feel like it.  So I grabbed the laptop and I am ignoring everything else for just a moment to put it out there that I am struggling today!!!  I think it will help me to stay focused today -to not waiver.  Because right now I want to go to iHop and eat a huge pile of pancakes smothered in butter and syrup.
I wonder if two weeks in on a diet is a usual time to fail?  I am choosing to ignore my desires to eat things and ways that will sabotage my hard work and I am choosing to tune into my desires to be healthy, thin and NO LONGER FAT.  And by doing that it's like stepping one foot onto Hawaii -the figurative, symbolic Hawaii.

Aloha & pray for me to stay strong today!!!
