Been eating more and excercising less. Trying to push my boundaries. Happy with weight.

Again, amazed. Had particularly much to eat on Monday, before my period finally came.

Lost more centimiters without losing more weight. I actually felt slimmer and some asked me yesterday whether I had lost more weight.

Start:

weight: 71,6kg (74,6, actually, at the very beginning)

waist: 87.5cm (… and who knows what my measurements were…)

belly: 107cm

hips: 108cm

stats after week 27:

weight: 62,2kg (-9.4kg)

waist: 74,5cm (-12)

belly: 94.0cm (-10)

hips: 99.5cm (-8.5)

thighs: 59cm and 57.5cm (-4,5 and -6.5cm)

Now:

weight: 60,6kg (-11kg)

waist: 72.5cm (-14)

belly: 93.5cm (-10.5)

hips: 96.5cm (-11.5)

thighs: 56.5cm and 57.5cm (-7,5 and -6.5cm)

 

BWL Week 3: 60,8kg

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I`m relieved. I was heavier again during the week, and I`m actually surprised that it seemed to disappear on its own. It`s not right that I`m so uptight about a few hundred grams since I`m lighter. I never bothered about fluctuations like that when I was heavier.

Got loads of compliments for losing weight, it felt fantastic last night. One person even asked whether I have lost further weight since she last saw me, which I have not. It`s amazing what a different it makes that I wear my correct dress size now. This really motivates me to stop wearing the last large items, even though I love them!

sweet things

Either I`m premenstrual or I`m self-sabotaging.

On the day I was at my lowest weight again, I binged. Although I was able to interrupt this (telephone) I continued thereafter. Could I not have done something else instead?

Today, I had sweet things just because they were there. Was, for a tiny moment, contemplating to finish everything but did not.

I took a look at my latest pictures instead. I still cannot quite believe that this is me and wouldn`t dream of ruining my figure again. On the other hand, I just have.

I need to make a better effort, absolutely. It`s fine to relax things a bit, because I don`t need to lose any more weight. It`s not fine to go back to the old ways and pile it all back on! Not an ounce!

Motivation

They say people get motivated in one of two ways:

To get something (reward) or to keep something (withdrawal/fear of loss).

I`m definitely one of the latter. I find it so much easier to eat responsibly and excercise now that I have my slim body already. I suppose what you don`t have you cannot mis…

BWL week 2: 61,4kg

Was 61,8 in between.

Reasons why I previously settled with a slight weight gain, and then another one, and then another one…

“It`s only a small amount, I can afford this now!”

“The compliments are still coming.”

“I look no different. The clothes still fit.”

“I`m still so much slimmer than I was, I`m still slim!”

“”I`ll take care that it doesn`t become more than this, but it`ll go down again - in time…”

I`m determined not to allow this to happen this time round. I mean - I have gotten rid of my “fat” clothes after all (I wasn`t going to, at least not that quickly, but I had to…)

… and again, I panic.

It`s not a lot and I know that I have made some unhealthy choices in the past few days (social engagements).

But as soon as the gain is confirmed on the scales, I panic, see myself regaining steadily more and growing out of my new, sexy clothes.

Must do better. Must eat less. Must excercise more. Until its gone.

Beyond Weight Loss

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Between Christmas and New Year, I have been to the Sales and, extatically, discovered, that I am wearing my goal size. One brand even made me a size below in some items. I knew that my new clothes which I bought in August/September were becoming baggy again and was hoping to be able to squeeze into a 10, but discovering that it was lose, too, in some instances, was just bejond description!

This means that although I have not reached my goal weight yet (I obviously set it too low) I am now the size I wanted to be which means that the weight loss is officially over!

No New Years` resolutions about weight (apart from maintenance). No extra-measly meals and strenous excercise on New Years` Day because this is the first day of the rest of my life. Just being happy, going out for dinner and wearing a pair of size 8 trousers.

With the new year, maintenance starts. My experience with this is not particularly good, admittedly, but on the other hand - this is the first time I lost weight w/a starving, so I`m not starved for anything. I feel I have discovered a way of eating which suits me and which I don`t find difficult, so I`ll be able to maintain it with ease.

Specific plans:

to weigh between 60 and 62kg, preferrably not over 61.

to continue eating as I eat, but relax the rules a bit and not feel guilty about it.

to continue running 2-3x a week, for at least 5k, while maintaining or improving my speed.
