So obviously I've been gone awhile, and obviously I have had more ups and downs in the past month than usual. I have lost 4 lbs, but if I had been diligent and focused I could have lost quite a bit more. That is in the past now. As I said before, this month the trick has been NOT falling off the wagon. I came close to it several times, but I never fell off entirely. I have learned after years of trying to lose all this excess weight, and yo-yo dieting myself to death that if you start to fall off of that wagon, you cling to it for dear life. You keep SOMETHING consistent, even if it's not much. For me it's been exercise. Even if my eating is out of hand, and it has been more then it hasn't been lately, I still swim, or play DDR, or do something active everyday, and that has been enough to counter my poor eating habits for the most part. I need to start tracking my food again on Weight Watchers. This will be easier to do when I have money to go grocery shopping, eating in the cafeteria is murder on this plan. All in all I'm still glad that I've lost 4 lbs since my last post - it's a bit miraculous honestly. I will not fall off of the wagon, I am in this for the long haul this time and nothing, including me, is going to trip me up.
