I still have 20 lbs to go, but I'm also content where I'm at.... so stuck!!!!
It might be a good idea. Of course, I am not speaking from experience, just my opinion. However, you might find that it will actually jumpstart your losses to be on P2 for awhile. There have been a few times where I have had a day or 2 be a P2 day simply because of traveling or eating out and those weeks when that happened, I lost more weight. So it might help you out two-fold, mentally and on the scale. Just something to think about.
I actually had (2) P2 days this week (WI tomorrow, so today is the last day of the week for me) because we unexpectedly had company and ended up eating in restaurants more often. And according to my scale, this week is going to be at least 2#, which would be a really good loss for me. Especially since I am within 15# of goal.
Maybe you could do Phase 1.5- some days at P2 when you mentally need it and then when you can handle it, do some days at P1. If there is one thing that I have discovered in the last few days, is sometimes your body needs a little "shake up" or "shock". Our bodies are extremely adaptive, and sometimes when you throw it for a loop, you get a nice jump start. And to clarify, I am not talking about cheating, just changing things up while staying OP. Doing a couple of P2 days, eating a restricted some days and then not, switching your lunch and dinner, etc... I noticed a trend in my journal that when I have weeks like this, these are my biggest losses (except for week 1).
I don't know if I answered your question or made you more confused! Hopefully there are some words of wisdom in there somewhere
If I could WI in my underware, I would! But I definitely have my WI "outfit" and at least I know it is consistant.
I do too. But it's a summer outfit and I'm already starting to worry about the first time I have to wear warmer clothese for my wi. It will probably be one or two weeks from now.
I looked into it and even if I go and place my order online it would still just be delivered on Thursday anyway
Well, bummer!! Thought you could maybe get around it. I'm with you on the quality of meat from them is amazing. Have you tried the Angus burgers......oh my they are so good!
I would absolutely do that if I could do a morning weigh-in! I wouldn't eat or drink a thing and would wear my very lightest clothing. Unfortunately, I'm a 3:30 pm weigher and I'm always 2 lbs up from morning.
Horribly day. DS started Kindergarten last week and was doing really well when I dropped him off. I would wait for a teacher to be supervising the playground, and sometimes until one of his friends got there. Then he'd wave me away and tell me I didn't have to stay. This morning he was a mess! Big, silent tears running down his cheeks and clinging to me. The bell doesn't ring until 8:10 and I work at 8, so I had to try and leave (was late anyway). I felt terrible leaving him. The teacher tried consoling him, and none of his friends were there yet to play with. I peeked around the corner and saw him sitting alone looking miserable. Cutting off an arm would have felt better to me.
Picked him up on my lunch break since they only do half days. I got one big smile and then tears. He just wanted to go home and not to daycare. I spent 10 minutes at daycare consoling him until his little sister pops around the corner. Now she decides to start bawling because she wants to go home with Mommy.
These days would usually drive me to the nearest drive thru! Big time emotional eater. I ate a lemon poppyseed bar, and I'm drinking some water. It still sucks. I called my husband and told him I hate him for making me do these things alone (he travels during week now)! He's super supportive actually. I was just feeling mean and weak.

I feel for you. It is so hard when they are sad. I know I always get bummed too. I wish life had a pause button that you could push and just cuddle them till they felt better and then hit play. Hope your day gets better.
