Today was the weigh-in following the second month of the contest.  Thankfully the scale went in the right direction.  I did notice something interesting though.  In the past, following a weigh-in, I would have cheated on my diet for the rest of the day.  Today I did not do that.  This time, I am definitely not being as strict with myself as I was in the past contest.  For this reason, I believe that I am not feeling as deprived, so I am not inclined to eat like a pig today.  Maybe slow and steady does win the race.
