239.2 - 114.2 pounds to go

Well, it definitely wasn't the greatest result, but at least I didn't gain! I was honestly expecting the scale to say I had gained. It was a horrible week for food, including eating fast food several times, a conference where I felt like I ate way more than I should have, and eating at several restaurants, which usually aren't much better than fast food when you think about it. So, a .3 loss is definitely welcomed!

We finally watched "Food, Inc." last night, which did exactly what I thought it would do: repulse me on many levels. I'm angry at big companies controlling everything just to make big profits, angry that animals are treated so horribly, and angry that consumers are shielded from knowing where and how their food was produced. This did the same as the other movie we watched a couple/few years ago (and I can't recall the name): made me realize we have to make smarter choices. I loved the ending of "Food, Inc" simply for pointing out that as consumers, we have the say-so! Not the big companies, but us! That's a pull I'd like to take advantage of more than I do!
