😀 Inching downward, slowly 😃
I saw several progress reports for the month so I looked at mine for January & discovered I lost 5.6 lbs. I weigh every day so I usually don't see big drops all at once. I did weigh less a few times in Dec. than I did on Jan. 1st, but I'm counting it as progress. Only 1.4 lbs. from my GOAL. I also lost an inch in both my waist & hips since I measured last in mid January.
I've been reading a couple of the threads on here but made no comment. I have lots of opinions /thoughts but didn't share 😊
I've been thinking about where I am in my weight loss journey and some of my thoughts. I have never weighed over 200 lbs. but I have gotten to a point I was uncomfortable, sluggish & unhappy with my appearance more times than I like to acknowledge. I lost 30 lbs. using FS back in 2011. So, I had all the tools, knew all about calories etc. But still managed to gain all or part of it back....more than once.
This time around I decided I had to come up with a WOE that would fit into my lifestyle, that I could maintain forever. I didn't want to eliminate anything from my food choices altogether, but eating less of them was OK. I can't imagine going without pasta, bread, corn on the cob, cookies, etc. forever. So, CICO was my obvious choice. I think the ideal "diet" is one that gets you through real life without you going off course & gaining half of your weight loss back again quickly. You have to be able to deal with social occasions, holidays and random Taco Tuesdays 😊
If someone else finds Keto or something else better for their way of life, good for them. Just doesn't work for me. Or fasting days at a time....pure torture in my mind. I get really cranky if I get too hungry.
I think a lot of what causes us to eat and gain weight is habit. If you always dig into the bread basket before dinner at a restaurant, you always have a cocktail at 5PM, you always have a bucket of buttery popcorn if you go see a movie, etc....
I decided I needed to come up with better habits. So that's what I've been trying to do. And if a particular food triggers you to go crazy don't have it in the house to tempt you. As I've developed better habits, I find foods don't tempt me quite as often. Part of that is because I continue to eat the things I love but use portion control when I do. I'm lucky I actually enjoy salads, veggies and a nice piece of Salmon as much as a cookie.
Happy First day of February!
