Weigh In #2 - Tales from the Scales
December 19th, 2007 at 10:13am |
Up one to 208. As much as I would love to blame the gain on cyclical bloating (which is true), I know that I have not been eating as I intended. I’m fighting some seasonal blues and my self-comfort has been in the candy and hot cocoa that fills this season.
And, as much as I was sorely tempted to just remove myself from the challenge and stop posting about it, here I am.
Thank you to all the really nice people who stopped by to encourage me in this challenge!

Should read “1 lb. gained - 78 to go!”
Sometimes you just need to step back and be a little easier on yourself. Gaining a pound sucks, but you didn’t gain 10. You don’t have to miss out on all the treats, just hold it to one a day. I treat myself every day, but I plan it out and usually have it at night after dinner and then it’s done for that day, but I have the next day to look forward to. One thing that derailed me before was that I would forget what I actually ate, so now I journal it all on fitday.com.
Hang in there. It’s a hard time of year and you are doing great by staying accountable and checking in! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
