My last weigh-in was way back in March. Well, the end of March. Since then I have lost 3.2 pounds. Yes, it took me the whole month of April to lose that, but you know what? I'm counting it as a victory that I didn't gain back all the weight I had lost, considering the amount of emotional eating in which I indulged.
I ate pizza, donuts, cheesecake, potato chips, and nachos. I drank wine and margaritas many nights. I exercised and practiced yoga zero minutes (That's a slight exaggeration, but you know what I'm saying). In between those little binges, though, I continued to eat low carb foods. Finding out that I don't have to become completely derailed by occasional binges is encouraging.
I'm down to 231.8 pounds, and I'm hoping now that things have settled down somewhat I can get back to losing a pound or two a week again. Maybe next week I'll see the 220's again. I never thought I'd be happy to say that! Sigh. Well, I am happy to say it.
That's wonderful, Siddaleah! Both finding that you don't have to be "perfect", and still managing to lose some weight. They say the slower it comes off, the slower it goes back on :) Yay!
