Saturday- made GW#1 !!!

pakita79 added an entry about lose weight : SW: 129.4 CW: 123.8 (-0.2 since last time) GW #1: 124 by October 11th – today!! GW #2: 123.8 by October 18th Ok so now on to the next step. For the next week, I’m going to do something which I have never done before: maintain my weight! So in a week’s time, I aim to weigh the same as today. I really need to do this for my mental health, to do away with fears of fluctuations, water weight, sodium and all that. This will be my little prize – not a binge, but eating normally for a few days, so about 700-800 calories more than I’ve been allowing myself (that’s a huge prize!) with a view to ultimately achieving a healhy relationship with food. I have a long way to go, but all I can do is to take it one step at a time.

Finally, a meal & exercise plan that i not only enjoy, but now its just a habit. The weight just keeps coming off! Its alot of hard work cooking everything from scratch, but i follow the 80/20 plan, meaning 80% of the time I eat right, then when I want something that is processed or has sugar in it, i use the 20% of the time. :) I dont Feel deprived.

So this weekend has been horrible!

Heather added an entry about lose weight : I just didn’t care at all yesterday or today and I swear I have eaten about 6,000 calories each day. Tomorrow I am getting back on track with this. I didn’t go to the beach and walk my 2.5mile track either. Oh well. I know I have gained some of the weight back. I am just going to try to get back to eating healthier tomorrow.
