Week # 16 / 210.2 lbs

Got up bright and early again today to go to my WW meeting.  Half way there I realized that I'd forgotten the stupid Biggest Loser Trophy and had to go all the way back home to get it.  I was only down 1 lb.  That's okay.  At least it's a loss and not a gain.  I kind of expected it.  I gained 6 lbs last weekend (my birthday weekend), so really this week I lost 7 lbs, though 6 of it was lbs I'd already lost.  I wont do that again.  Just think if I hadn't overindulged last weekend, would I have been down an additional 7 lbs instead of just 1.  I am relieved that the holidays and my birthday are over.  Nothing else coming up for quite a while, so no more excuses.  I should be able to stick to the plan pretty well.  Especially with my sis-in-law texting me non-stop keeping me on track.  Gotta love accountability!

Today at the meeting we talked about the NEGATIVE RESULTS OF HUNGER.  

What happens when we let ourselves get too hungry?  
~we are so hungry that we start to pig out on everything and anything in sight.
~we eat so fast that it takes a while for our brain to register that we're full and then we're uncomfortably stuffed.
~we realize what we've done and get depressed about it.
~the depression causes us to eat even more and just throw in the towel on the whole day.
~can potentially ruin any sort of loss for the entire week.

This is why it's important to keep ourselves satisfied throughout the day with many small/low point meals.  

And that's that!
