Checking in, bump in the road
I've been stuck at 293 since the 23rd. When it climbed to 295 just before the weekend, I blew it off as gaining for Aun't Flo's monthly visit; it is about that time. Today when we got back from the Gorge, I stepped on the scale (after having eaten breakfast, drinking water) and the scale said 299.
I am NOT going back over 300... I refuse. Tomorrow I'm going back to basics, no more venturing out of where I know I should be until I hit my next goal (then I'll have whatever I want for a day).
So yeah, figuring out how to catch myself before it spirals out of control is a process for sure. It's weird, it's like I needed to take my sleeve on a test run just to prove to myself that I could physically have anything I wanted... just not much of it. Well, that's true, point made... now it's time to get back to doing what I know I need to.

That 7 pounds really could mess with our head. I am glad to read your motivated
again. You can do it! I know you can.
I remember before the surgery how you praised one of your food plans by one of the
doctors that is floating around here. You mentioned you were using the doctor
and not sure if it ended that way. anyhow, you were adamant about being on track
with this food plan and I felt the same too in the beginning. Then reality comes where
food has also at times got the better half of me. This is human nature. All we have to do
is change our ways.... I am so happy your catching this before it gets out of hand.
Again, I know you can do this!!!

Now in retrospect, I think yesterday's 299 reading was probably a combo of it being mid-day, plus some of the rediculous amount of water I drank all weekend was probably sticking around a bit. The Gorge is in a desert, so I put away about 100oz of water each day (Camelbaks rock!) just to make sure I wouldn't get dehydrated out there.
If my pattern is going to be drop 15 or so pounds, then stall out for a few weeks, then drop again, I can deal with that... I just want to know that it's just how my body sheds weight; I suppose only time will tell. This whole thing is such a learning process!
