Today was scale-facing day and I stared them down enough to lose a whopping 900g! Not bad for someone who was backsliding fast!!! Having looked at my eating habits, tracking what I ate for the last week and attending two meetings a week I have conquered some very big demons.
I must admit my leader Sharon was right. If you don't track then you don't lose. Kind of a good mantra to have because I also find that I don't go over my points too when I track. Funny that I did that during the week and managed a fantastic loss. Tracking has also shown me when I've had a bad day and made wrong choices and when I've had great days and kept within my points allowance.
It is funny when people comment on my eating habits and ask me if I'm only going to eat a small portion of food that they would consider a snack. That happened today when I had lunch even though I ate a very healthy meal made of vegetables. It was filling for me but looking at the other plates on the table I knew it was considered a sub-standard amount of food in comparison. I didn't mind though, it just showed me yet again how portions are over-sized generally.
How many times have you served yourself and realised your portion size was too big? How many times have you not tracked your food and found out you gained weight as a result? I know first hand and can honestly say that I have done both in my lifetime, even lately when I've gone up for an all-you-can-eat salad bar which has hidden ingredients.
This week starts anew and the challenge is on to exercise more this week and watch my daily points allowance so that I don't go over. What's you challenge for this week?
Until next time,
