February Weight Journal w/Commentary (Down 12.4 Pounds Total)

When my daughter came for a visit around her birthday, I made an amazing Chocolate Beet Cake. I will be putting that recipe up soon. It is not low fat or low calorie — especially with the decadent Chocolate Frosting I put on top (that recipe can be found here). But I ate as much as I wanted. We also went out to pizza and enjoyed other nice meals together. I ate all these foods without “going off” my diet. Yes, I had to account for what I ate. But I didn’t feel guilty. I didn’t feel like I was cheating. I was just enjoying my family with good food.
