Today I am 113 pounds. This is up 1 pound from Friday, but I know it would have looked like way more if I checked yesterday so I'm glad I didn't. I stuck to my diet plan yesterday and had ~200 calories, which is exactly what I would have done if I weighed myself (except that I would have also been miserable because of what I saw on the scale).
When I first started up this blog, I was losing ~1 pound a day. It was SO nice, but I knew that it wouldn't last--it was only because I had so much excess weight at the time and my metabolism was used to eating a ton. Now that my metabolism has slowed and gotten used to how little I eat, I've been losing ~1 pound a week. Obviously this is also due to my binge-y weekends.
At first I was disappointed, the quick weight loss I had been experiencing was so motivating! But I can't give up now just because it's taking some time. I will NOT stay at this weight. I just need to make sure I continue with the weight loss, even if it's only a tiny bit at a time--there really isn't anything more I can do. So for now I will only weigh myself every other day just to check in, and NEVER the day after I binge (which hopefully won't be very often).
Same calorie goal today:
~200 calories from 2 small slices of vegan pizza
tsk tsk tsk...I thought you were not going to look Elle. I understand, it is soooooo tempting. I refuse to look until the week is over. I just don't want to discourage myself by looking all the time. You'll get there lol = )...but you are doing great
