My Quest Weigh-In Week #2

I lost 2.2 lbs.!!!! 

That's a 2-WEEK LOSS of 6 lbs.!!!

I am super happy with that, especially after my behavior last Sunday when I not only fell off the wagon, but rolled under it, got caught on something and was dragged behind it for miles...  This week's loss just proves that you can have one hell of a bad day of cheating on your diet, get back on the wagon, forgive yourself for what you just did and move on.  That has been my downfall every other time I've tried to diet and it's almost a revelation to me that just because you regress doesn't mean you have to continue on that downward spiral.

I was a late bloomer.  I'm a procrastinator.  I don't get a lot of jokes immediately.  I think of great comebacks a week later.  And it's taken me more than 20 years to figure out how to work a diet.

  1. There might actually be true method to the madness... I've been reading more and more lately about how an occasional "binge" actually helps keep your body's metabolism running "hot" so to speak... As long as you go back to your normal eating afterwards. They think the evolutionary reason is that humans would "forage" but their big meals with meat were only occasional... An interesting thought and certainly helps us all to never dispair! I love your blog, Kelly!
