2 weeks down...

So I'm two weeks in. I've lost 5 pounds on week one and gained just under 1.5 lbs on week two. So overall it's still a loss. I really need to keep track of things better. I've discovered that is one of my downfalls. I have a TERRIBLE memory. I always used to track my food when doing a diet, but decided that this time around I wouldn't right away because then it would feel too much like a diet, and I wouldn't want to do it. I need to at least track my weigh ins better. As my math is just not adding up... now that I think of it I am down a total of 4.3 lbs... so I haven't even done a great job remembering the exact numbers... hahahah

I must say I notice a huge change in my attitude this time around. When I weighed myself on Tuesday and it was up. I didn't feel like running to the fridge. Don't get me wrong, I still have those moments all the time... but I talk myself through them, and drink water to avoid eating, etc. etc. That used to be one of my biggest downfalls was when I gained... I would binge for two days. I know .... counter intuitive right? But when you rely on food for comfort, and are a major emotional eater... that's what you turn to when you are upset that you've failed.

So my vow this week is to create some sort of log on the computer that I can fill out my weight ups and downs and maybe even calculate when my "goal" arrival date is. Then I have an end point in site as well... I am definitely going to take smaller steps and make smaller goals along the way. But it's nice to have the ultimate goal in mind as well.
