The Loser's Bench
Movin on up... xpost to Loser's Bench Discussion
And I'm not too sure that I'm happy about it. I feel like I look much better and others confirm that, but I have to admit that it's pretty scary to watch the scale creep up. Will it ever stop. Can I control it? I guess the real question is can I control my behavior so that I can control my weight. My low weight was 132, but just for a few days to be honest. I would say that my honest, low weight was about 136 because I was able to 'hold' that weight for several months. I started gaining as my life started getting more stressful and I found myself indulging in comfort eating. It didn't effect my weight at first and to be honest, I think I thought I could continue without a problem, but I think that to be honest, I let me guard down and a little indulgence became a little bigger indulgence... You get the picture. Life has become steadily more stressful and as it has, my weight has steadily gone up. I nearly keeled over this morning when I got on the scale and it said 146! It's not that 146 is a bad weight. Actually, for me, it's a pretty good weight. I really like how a look and feel when I weigh between 145 and 150, but it's how I got here that has me freaked out. I guess I need to face the music and get back to basics. I need to log what I consume, I need to be sure that I'm getting in the requisite protien and that it's lean... I need to be sure to take care of the new me before I become the old me.
