Last week I weighed 265.2. This week I weigh 264.2. That's a 1 pound weight loss for this week and a 7.6 pound weight loss over all. This disappoints me and makes me want to reduce what I'm eating. That's the eating disorder talking. In reality, I know I'm eating a healthy amount of food. I calculated the calories today and I'm probably eating around 1500-1800 calories a day. I'm not starving or fasting or suffering. I don't feel hungry. I feel satisfied. So I know logically, my weight loss will not be as drastic as it was the first time around. And this is also without adding any exercise to my regime.
This will be a slow and steady weight loss, not a plummet. I went to therapy today and we talked a lot about weight loss. She suggested I celebrate any loss - whether it's 6 pounds or .6 pounds. A loss is a loss. She also suggested that I use alternative methods of judging success, such as pictures or measurements. I think I'll do a monthly picture. I'm also starting back on the elliptical machine tonight.
Onward.
Wonderful spirit. Measurements should be very accurate. Also veggies and fruit hsve a lot of water in them. All the best.
