2.5 weeks ago, I went to visit my parents for a very quiet Christmas. My parents didn’t have a working weighing scales (lmao) so I just decided that for two weeks I’d have to let the chips fall where they may.
I ate whatever I wanted, but I still followed some of the core tenets that I’ve applied since I started losing weight in August: I stop eating when I’m full, even if my plate has still got loads of food on it. If i don’t feel hungry at a traditional meal time, I don’t eat, and I wait until I am hungry to eat. I don’t overfill my plate as I can always just go get more food, so instead I eat what is in front of me and then ask myself whether I actually need anything else (often I don’t). And finally, I try to incorporate green vegetables into almost every meal. I also kept up my running, but only did about 3km/day average. I haven’t been logging my food because lol christmas
I got back to my place yesterday and this morning I stepped on the scale. I had prepared myself for a 5lb gain, and had said I’d be happy with 2lb gain as that is not a bad place to start from. Lo and behold, I step on, and I’d lost two pounds
I can’t believe it. I’m also due to get my period so normally I’m retaining water around this time. I’m pretty thrilled tbh, and it’s encouraging to see that it’s possible to keep working to your goals while still enjoying everything I wanted and not feeling nervous around celebrations
Okay that’s it!! I’m very proud of myself and it’s also makes me feel like this weight loss is sustainable
