I had very strictly counted calories for about 2 months, and then really fell off the calorie counting wagon around the beginning of October. I wasn’t completely quitting trying to lose weight, but doing that “oh I’ll just eyeball it” thing.
Then I had family from out of town visit, and then I went on a vacation to see an old friend and when I got back last week I was feeling pretty guilty about having gotten so off track. However, when I weighed myself, I hadn’t gained any weight at all. In fact I had actually lost another 4.5 lbs, making my total weight loss since the beginning of August 26 lbs.
I still wasn’t feeling super thrilled about it though. All I could think about was how much more I would’ve lost by now if I had continued to be strict with my calorie counting that whole time. I’m 6’1 and currently 249 lbs. With all that height to spread out on, 26 lbs is hardly noticeable on me. But then, today I randomly my decided to try on a couple rings that I absolutely love but couldn’t wear because they didn’t fit… and now they do!
In short, even though I wasn’t counting calories for that period of time, my habits have changed enough that it still made a difference. It also gave me a renewed sense of confidence that I can continue doing this!
