After adamantly sticking to my plan these past few days and having that nearly five pound mid-week gain in the back of my head this whole time, I am excited to report that I have lost a grand total of 0.2 pounds from last week! It may be a teeny, tiny loss, but I am so hugely thankful that I managed to pull it off! I really was expecting to see a gain today and was prepared to just keep working at getting off whatever else remained, but continuing my downward trend (no matter how minuscule) makes me very happy!
This is one of those weeks where I can say that I earned every ounce – both when the number went up and as it slowly came back down. I am really proud that I didn’t just ditch all of my hard work as I probably would have in the past, and even more pleased that I finally seem to be moving past the all or nothing attitude that was a self-sabotaging mechanism of prior weight loss efforts.
The loss I am reporting today may be barely worth registering compared to my other weigh-ins, but it represents a lot more to me than most of the bigger numbers I have seen during this journey. It’s true what they say. The best things really do come in small packages!

I love that you see where you are going! Yes, that all or nothing thing has got to many people so don't feel like you are the only one. What is important is that you got past it, did not give. Keep everything healthy & good that you have done on your mind!
ReplyDeleteYes, baby steps are still steps forward! Hang in there!
Really excellent post and points! Loved the small package reference.
ReplyDeleteGratz, 266, or rather, 153!

ReplyDeleteYou are a lean, mean, losing weight machine!!!! I'm so happy that you didn't see a gain. YOU ARE SO CLOSE to goal!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is great!! I had a less then stellar day today, so I hope to undo the damage instead of add to it like I would've in the past.
ReplyDeleteGood for you :)
Great Job.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to turn something like that around.
You did it though.
Down is always better than up! Good job not giving up on the week halfway through, but working it off. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was tough to walk that line of staying on top of it, but also not freaking out and then over doing it. I am really happy with how things turned out!
