The Money Diet, week 8: Not even close to easy

The good news is that I haven't gained any weight this week. The bad news is that I haven't lost any either. And I admit, my first thought the last time I looked at the scale was about as self-defeating as it gets. If I'm not losing any weight by giving up junk food, why am I depriving myself of the opportunity to order a pizza?

Sigh.

I know that that's just the sort of thinking that's going to sabotage any diet. But I can see why people don't stick to their New Year's resolutions, or any weight-loss plan. for that matter. Even if you're losing weight every week, this is still a pretty slow process. But I knew that going in, so I'm nowhere near giving up on this.
