yo-yo dieting as a featherweight
 

i don't know if this is because i have a serious problem with yo-yo dieting, or because i don't have that much weight to lose. but it seems like i keep losing and regaining the same 10 pounds. if it were 50 pounds, then it would obviously be yo-yo dieting. but i can easily gain 10 pounds in a week just from water retention. and then i'm back where i started :( it's very visible too. when i lose 10 pounds, people comment on it. so it must seem weird when they see me 4 days later and i'm back where i started! i guess there's nothing i can do except try harder to stick with it so that it's a continuous downward trend instead of constantly bouncing up and down. this is more just a rant.

It sucks. We try to tell ourselves no one will notice, but it shows really easily in obvious places like face and stomach.

How's the not-binging going?

Not very well :( Well, i look at it as a positive thing that i don't have the crazed, must-get-my-fix binge urges that i was experiencing a couple weeks ago where i would literally get in my car to drive a BLOCK to the store to pick up binge food. Instead, my binging has been more subtle--more like very heavy snacking. Still not good. But i feel a BIT less crazy than i did before.

Slow progress is still progress. I'm starting to feel "slippery" in terms of control....

This is the story of my life, except its 14lbs, never been more that 165lbs at the VERY most >_<.
