You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!
137.
i gained somewhere between 5-8 lbs as a result of 'love angst'. i always used to gain weight after a break up.
an area and opportunity of growth for me! learning not to reject myself just because i perceive someone else rejected me, not to dislike myself because i think THEY dislike me. funny the tricks the heart can play. my mind obviously knows this is crap... i get to learn to love myself more deeply and unconditionally, to celebrate myself for who i really am. that is so freeing, and at 40 i embrace learning that lesson again and on deeper levels.
so anyway, got back up on my feet so to speak last weekend and took 4-5 of those 8 lbs right back off, easy as pie and no deprivation or self torture included.
tomorrow my sister comes to visit for the day. i see her rarely, and she lives 3000 miles away, we will eat vegan for lunch (too low in protein for me but it will be fun), go to whole foods for dinner where i can get lean beef and veggies, and i will supplement with protein shakes with blended frozen fruit for the other two meals. we will walk a lot in town, then go to the beach for a bit.
in a word. balance. the day will balance itself out, and be a lot of fun too!
i usually only weigh weekly, except when i have a specific goal or project in mind, like now...then i weigh most days.
