And not the kind with Meryl Streep. I have had a really good week: no meltdowns, no craving battles, no shenanigans. I got to the gym three times this week (our schedule was a mess and didn't allow me to get there for the usual 4 times). Still, I am somehow concerned about this week's numbers. I desperately want to get below the 250 mark - it only requires three pounds, which is a pretty reliable number considering my track record. But for some reason I've been feeling at a bit of a plateau - like no matter what I do I'm not going to get past 250. If this week's results are less than what I hoped, I will pay a visit to the nutritionist and see what I might be able to do. I have noticed that at this stage how much I eat and WHEN I eat it are both tremendous factors in terms of numbers.
I know full well that being obsessed with the scale is not necessarily the best way to maintain a diet. For me, seeing the results on the scale and being able to say "I've lost __ pounds" has been a really important tool for keeping myself motivated. Luckily I have kept going strong through these past two weeks, but being so deeply devoted and seeing no documentable results gets increasingly more frustrating.
We shall see what tomorrow brings!
