Good Karma and the Scale Gods

So here is how my twisted brain thinks...

Medifast has a neat guarantee on their food.  If you don't like any of their items, after trying only one from a package of seven, you may bring them back and exchange them from other items that other dieters did not like.

And well, I HATED the tomato soup, and I love all things tomato, people.  It was not only a frothy mess, but it looked like vomit-after a long night of alcohol and pizza kind of vomit.  No shit.  I could not even look at the picture on the box.  Two words...dry...heave.

So I brought my 6 packages back in and PRESTO!  There were SEVEN of the Smore protein bars that I love in the exchanging drawer.  But instead of being greedy and taking all 7, I left one and exchanged it for my six snot soups.  

Yeah I know, it didn't seem like anything at that time-still when I stepped on the scale...

I almost had a coronary, then I tried to jump off as soon as she let me 'cause I thought the number would change!  I had lost 4.5 pounds from last week.  This was in spite of the diet karma killing chocolate cake.  SO...it HAD to be the soup exchange.  HA!

Regardless, I was totally psyched and glad my extra workouts this week worked!

On another note, I got the most delicious roasted tomato soup at Whore Foods today-seriously delicious and 60 calories/2.5g fat per serving.
Highly recommend!

Karma schmarma! That's hard work paying off, my friend! I believe in Karma, don't get me wrong...but it doesn't seem to apply in diets. I know, because I've tried to karmically lose weight for years now. I've done more mitzvahs in the hope of dropping pounds than Gandhi's did peace walks. I've come to the conclusion that the diet gods only reward hard work, like yours. So... congrats! Am sorry you are missing your favorite reindeer..holidays are tough.

I have been all about soup lately! Perhaps because I am living in an igloo...
