I was amazed to have lost 3lb last week. I certainly did not deserve to. I have been skipping meals and binging. I pretty much ate my body weight in tapas and I have had cocktail sausages and miniature yule logs. I had pretty much given up on the diet this week. I cheekily weighed myself on my friend's scales before going to group last night, and those scales said that I had put on 1/2lb so I was prepared for the worst. They could have knocked me down with a feather when they told me I had lost 3lb- I could swear there must be something wrong with their scales.
Having said that, I think I dodged a bullet this week. I therefore intend to get back into doing my food diary this week. No more guessing syns. No more having 2 healthy B's and pretending I have been good. No more skipping meals. Sticking to plan. I am 3lb off my 2 stone award and I would be thrilled to get there before Christmas. I'm going for it! Next weigh in is on Christmas Eve, so I do need to be careful. I need to make sure that I am being good.
Several people have warned me not to go 'too low'. Not to 'lose too much weight'. I have no idea why they are saying this. Do they realise that I have lost 25lb but I still have 54lb to lose to get to target? Then I need to decide if I am happy at that weight! Silly people. I am a very long way off being the size I should be. I wouldn't suit being skin and bone, but why should I not suit being slim, trim and healthy? Why should I not be allowed to shop where everyone else does? Why should I have to feel like a blimp on my sister's wedding day? The answer: I shouldn't have to. I can be whoever I want to be and I have chosen to be slim.
