Guest guest Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I have been really excited lately because I NEED to go shopping for new pants. Smaller pants! I decided to take next Monday off work, take the kids to school/daycare, and spend all day shopping. This is something I never do so it is a real celebration for me. I weigh myself every other Thursday morning. So far I have lost 15 pounds since March. Slow but steady. I have made a number of changes to my habits over that time. I no longer snack in the afternoon at work, I eat slower and more purposefully, I make healthier choices, I even climb 6 - 10 flights of stairs 4 - 5 days a week. I do have some areas to work on still but I feel good about the progress I have made and about how I am looking. Then I weighed this morning. Up two pounds. I know I shouldn't freek out over two pounds but it is bothering me. My first thoughts were too many sweets. No more sweets. Salads, lots of salads. Which is not a bad thing. Its a way of self correcting really. I just don't like the bummer that it put on my excitement. I thought about not weighing but once a month. But I am concerned that the extra time would allow me to stray too far before correcting. I'm not sure exactly what I am going to do about the extra two pounds but I do know that my stubborness won't let me give up. I don't really want to. I like the changes. I like not worrying about if I have snacks, or what if I get hungry, or freaking out when I did get hungry, or the feeling that I have to eat it all right now because there may not be any more later. All of these thoughts and feelings are gone and it is soooo awesome. So I will press on and hopefully start losing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
