Post-Shenandoah, again
September 17th, 2007
Does the world really need another weight loss blog? No, but I do. Angel Food, the other blog I maintain, is keeping me focused on trying to cook really good food. It’s not quite the place I need to go to keep accountable for losing weight. Here’s hoping that Angel Food (lowfat) will. So, here goes.
My weight this morning was 159. There, I’ve said it. That’s not terrible for a 5′6 1/2″ gal. It’s not the 210 I weighed three years ago, but it is also not the 135 lbs I was 18 months ago. After working my butt off to lose 75 lbs, I started dating a terrific guy. In my happiness I forgot to diet. He didn’t care if I ate two plates of pasta for dinner, so I didn’t either. And I gained weight again.
After maintaining my weight for about 6 months, I’m finally to the point mentally that I was at 3 years ago - let’s just call my state of mind “Post Shenandoah.” I’m determined to journey down the scale again. I’ll count points for at least the next 30 days (until the WW membership runs out). I’ll record my weights. I’ll go a little hungry. And I’ll write.
