Well, after focusing on my food for the last seven
days I had a loss of 2 pounds and was back in goal range (173-177) for my
August WI.
Whew.
Actual weight was 176.0. My iPhone is fatter than I am |
It was an emotional week last week. When I arrived at my meeting on Tuesday I was
greeted with so many “I thought about you all week” comments. My meeting members and leader are
wonderful. I thanked them all for the
support and understanding as I had my nervous breakdown! It really did feel like a support group last
week where I just bared my soul and then found my inner fighter.
When I went back to look at my weight record I realized
that I was also over goal the last two years.
So really I didn’t need to be so hard on myself. Regardless I took a good look at my food last week and made some changes. It is easy
to get into a rut of eating the same foods and doing the exercise. So what would make me think I would see
different results?
I still ate some boring meals this week and I really
missed fruit. I also think I have become addicted to Melba Toast. However, I still had some
treats and I still ate meals out. I also
ate all my WPPAs and all my APs. I am
going to continue with that this next week.
I am also going to stay mindful of my fruit consumption and continue to
eat different types of foods.
For now I can let out a sigh of relief. I earned my 6th Lifetime key charm
to add to my key ring. It has been
another 10 months at goal.
I am very happy with my maintenance journey. It has its ups and down and its highs and
lows but it is all just a part of the journey.
And boy does it feel good to be able to eat WITHOUT
snapping a photo!
