My Resolve is Crumbling

The deflated balloon that is my Willpower!

After 3 weeks on the Perfect 10 Diet I lost 9 pounds. This week I started working out with my Wii again, in conjunction with adding 1 serving of whole grain into my diet and I've lost nothing! Not one single ounce!!! So how do I solve that? I eat...cupcakes! Last night I made pumpkin spice cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Today I'm making red velvet cupcakes. They're both supposed to be for the company that I have coming over tonight and tomorrow, but I have already eaten one full size pumpkin cupcake and one mini cupcake. I also ate a handful of my 2 year old's fries at McDonald's today...What the heck is wrong with me?

I know that this diet is the way I want need to eat for years to come, but when I don't see results on the scale, I just feel so defeated! I know that I'm getting healthier on the inside, regardless of what the scale says, but the honeymoon is over, man! It is a slippery slope that I am trying desperately not to throw myself down! I need to go back to phase 1 (obviously) where I don't eat any starches. It was easier somehow. I like the black and white of it- no gray area to get confused by. And even as I'm typing this, I'm thinking...maybe I should just say screw the diet until Sunday, and eat whatever I want. Maybe I will. Hopefully I will find the willpower not to.
