Just came back from my monthly weigh in - gained 2 pounds. I knew I would have a gain as I made some poor eating out choices this month. However, I am still within my goal range so it was very nice not to have to pay again. I think I finally learned after all these years that an occassional gain is no reason to go back to poor choices permanently. In the past, if I gained, I would use that as an excuse to go on a binge. I feel I finally know how to maintain.
That's exactly how I feel! I went for my monthly weigh-in on Saturday despite having dipped into potato chips the nite before. Didn't even weigh myself at home - just bit the bullet and went, prepared to take the hit. Turns out I was down 1.8! Who knew??
I too am finally realizing that this is a lifetime thing and that there will be fluctuations. And a slight gain is no excuse for reverting to an unhealthy lifestyle.
8th Month At Goal
