At weigh in tonight I put on 1.5lbs - the amount I lost last week, which takes my total loss back down to 1st 8lb, or 3lb off in total since I started this blog just over a month ago.
Am I surprised? No - after a week in which I had: pizza; chocolates; a curry with my wife and some friends; a chinese takeaway; and several cupcakes, I expected a gain.
Am I disappointed? Absolutely not - because it was expected and I was aware of what I was doing, it's not hit me like some gains have done. That's definitely a good thing, since it means that I'll not get into the spiral of guilt and I'll not go to such extremes that I become a control freak and stress myself out over my eating.
At the end of the day (and I've said this many times before), following the SW plan is all about making long term changes to the way I eat. I proved to myself last year that I could lose weight in doing so, and I'm confident it will happen again. I've still got a lot of weight to lose and the best way to keep it off is to lose it slowly and steadily.
Here's to a step back in the right direction next week. Scan bran challenge anyone?
