Why so hungry?

I've been debating whether I should post about this subject or not. Primarily because if I fail I don't want people to know. But, since my counter shows not a lot of people read this then why not!

The household I am living in started a 90 day weight loss challenge on January 4. My goal is to lose 30 pounds in 90 days. A bit aggressive, but doable in my opinion. I started this week insanely optimistic. I went to the grocery store for all of the healthy foods and little containers to take all of that food to work with me. One thing I am trying to accomplish is getting over my sugar addiction. I am an absolute sugar addict! If it has sugar in it I will eat it.

How have I done? Fabulous! I have not eaten one unhealthy thing this week. I am drinking a lot more water and I have managed to squeeze in 2 workouts so far. I have had NO sugar. Major accomplishment for me.

This morning I decided to weigh a couple of days early. The results? I have not lost a single pound. Not even a tenth of a pound. I weigh EXACTLY the same as I weighed on Sunday. My first reaction was to find the nearest box of chocolate. Fortunately there is no chocolate in the house right now. I have not given in to that initial reaction yet and continue to stay on track. However, the chocolate bars from the vending machine are currently singing out for me to eat them every time I pass the break room. I don't quite understand how I haven't lost any weight, but I am going to keep at it and not lose my resolve.
