disappearing...

yesterday when i was feeling particularly down a friend of mine said that i was being too hard on myself. that i needed to ease up a bit. so i tried that. and what do you know?? another half an inch is gone this morning. so maybe it had nothing to do with feeling better but the fact that i have done well and haven't measured in a few days but i found it all a little amusing. i think maybe it's time to get a scale so i can measure progress in more than just inches but i am a little hestitant because i don't really trust them. i have started carrying small packets of truvia around in my carry thingy (ie Purse.) so that when i eat out or need a drink i can get an unsweetened ice tea and use that as a little bit of taste. it still doesn't knock the edge off. i'd swear i was from the south with the way that i love sweet tea. even the williams family doesn't drink it as sweet as i like it and theirs is usually sweeter than most.
