Think that is bad?
I was ONE (1!!!) pound away from the elusive Onederland. Having come from a weight of 321, I would say 199 would have been an incredible accomplishment!
Binged like you wouldn't believe. Stumbled and tripped all throughout the month of May and June, and ended up with a 16+ pound gain. Oiy.
But you know? I could have been worse, really. And you know what else? I kinda like healthy eating, and enjoy the 1600 calories I eat daily. So having taken a "Detour" was just that. A detour. I'm back on plan, and while the 16 pounds will not come off as quickly as your 5 pound gain, still: it could have been worse, right?
Keep that in mind!
