Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
No Harm Done
Even after my minor misstep yesterday, I'm back on track
and no worse for the wear. I'm still 186 and I've learned
my lesson. I woke up this morning feeling heavy, crampy,
bloated and overly full. When I'm normally light, feeling
healthy and trim. I'm not even hungry for breakfast.
Eating pizza and ice cream may have quelled my emotional
hunger, but it didn't do my body any favors and I'm
looking forward to getting back on track. I'm going to
drink a lot of fluids today in the hopes that I can flush
some of the fat out of my system. I've even got a touch of
heartburn, which is unheard of for me. I'm definately not
doing that again (at least not for awhile :)
I got some great news while watching the news last night!
All this time I've been beating myself up for hopping on
the scale every morning. People are always telling me that
I shouldn't weigh-in more than once a week and I should
stop the morning ritual, but all along I've been right! A
study at the University of Washington found that over a 2
year period of time, people trying to lose and keep off
weight were more successful in losing and keeping it off,
if they weighted themselves EVERY morning. They kept the
weight off an average of 1 year longer than the people who
weighed themselves only once a week. The idea being that
people who weigh themselves more often always have that
number in the back of their minds and are more likely to
make good food choices accordingly and can adjust bad
habits before they pack on 5 pounds. So, the guilt is gone
and I will be stepping on my scale every morning for the
rest of my life!
I'm going to feed Kiki, get suited up and head out on an
extra-long walk. I need to cleanse. Ciao!
