Weigh Day Wall

After ten weeks of steady weight losses, I finally stumbled. I showed a slight weight gain of .6 tonight. I'm not going to let it get under my skin, though. I didn't get fat overnight and getting back to goal will take awhile. Besides, I know that I remained within my points last week, so tonight could just be an anomaly.

I believe this because I've entered into the Belt Phase:


As a rule, I don't generally wear belts. They're bulky. They cause unsightly bulges. They're ugly. But they keep my pants on.

And the fact that I need something to hold up my pants makes me happy. Because that means I get to go clothes shopping soon (even if I'm shopping at the top of my closet for things I haven't worn in years).

But back to that slight weight gain. I know I stayed within my points this week, but I have a sneaky suspicion that the culprit may have been my food choices. I ate a lot more carbs and a lot fewer fresh fruits and vegetables. And I discovered these:


Apples, oranges, bananas, and watermelon have done me well. I need to return to them and ditch the ice cream. Even if they are only 2 points a bar.

I should probably start using this, too:


It mocks me. And terrifies me.

Adele - I've been laughing for the past 20 minutes as I catch up on all your posts. I very rarely have the time to do anything fun anymore. Thanks a million. And thank the professor for me, too, since I know he helps keep you insane.
