I was away last week, so had to miss weigh in, which usually means that bad habits creep in unabated. Queuing for weigh in this week I was expecting to have put on weight and gone into the next stone up. I had convinced myself that would be the case and had decided that I would accept what the scales decided then move on with shifting the gain the next week. Imagine my surprise when the scales showed I'd actually lost 1.5lb! Looking back I can see that there were times I've been very good and stuck to plan, and others where I've forgotten what the plan looks like, so I'm not sure what to attribute the loss to.
Rather than deciding to continue as I have for the last 2 weeks and hoping that I continue to lose weight, I am getting back onto plan - I know that works, so we will see how it goes.
Another thing that might help a bit is that I am likely to be less sedentary on an evening - I've left Facebook since I was spending every second each evening pressing refresh to see what was going on in the world. This is another step in my taking control of my life, which I hope will help my weight loss as well as my general wellbeing (some stuff that I used to read on there got me fuming, so my stress levels should decline as a result of not reading it anymore!). There is one drawback, however - by not being on Facebook it's harder to get the support, ideas and recipes of my group if I'm going through a rough patch. I hope to ease that difficulty somewhat by staying for IMAGE Therapy more often and I guess if I have any trouble between meetings I'll post on here and hope someone can gee me up!
