I’m at my maintenance weight now, so I’m not trying to lose weight. I’m trying hard not to backslide into my bad habits, but it’s so easy to get derailed and hard to get back on track.
The beginning of the year I was 186 pounds. As of the beginning of September I lost 56 pounds, and have managed to keep it off for a couple of months. I’m by no means fully maintaining, but I have only moved a couple of pounds either way.
Most of the weight loss was due to calorie restriction, but a few weeks ago I started walking fast. Not to lose more weight, but to become healthier.
This weekend I totally went off the rails. No walking and eating substantially above maintenance. Last night I felt tired, bloated, and bummed out.
This morning I was super hungry, but I had protein coffee for breakfast and my lunch was tuna and large garden salad. I feel better, but I’m craving crappy food.
I went for a walk at lunch and it was hard. It was like starting back at square one.
I am going to remember this when I feel like skipping a couple days of walking or going off my maintenance too much. It’s hard to start again.
