OK I give up. No I am not stopping. But I do admit that when you have a house full of guests, even welcomed and much loved guests like Grand kids and kids.....concentrating on eating well enough to lose weight after already losing over 65 pounds total......not working!
I like writing 65 pounds, it is true, from my highest weight. From October it is only 32.5. Still, pretty darn good.
New Reality: When traveling or having guests, it is a major accomplishment to not gain more than a couple pounds. It is HUGE when you don't gain any. And SUPER HUMAN if you happen to lose weight as my daughter did when she was visiting last week.
Sandi made us all kinds of goodies when she was here. They were all very healthy and great for my diet. Still, more than I would have eaten had she not been spoiling us.
Sarah and 3.7 babies are here till Sunday. Plus it is Easter this weekend. Sarah also has been spoiling us with all kinds of wonderful and healthy meals.
As for me, I have done extremely well. Not "Greatest Loser" type well, but for most humans, pretty darn good. The Reality (word of the post) is that I am past the point where the pounds just fall off because I am not being as bad as I have been in the majority of my life. At this point, for multiple reasons, I need to start exercising and really work on what I am eating, in a healthy and sustainable way.
So I am giving myself permission to "coast" till we are once again "kidless" and "Guestless". That will be Monday April 9th. If at that time, I am below 195, it will be a great accomplishment! Then I will start and get to the next level. For me, that will be 180 or less.
I don't know if you recognize what a really important thing has just happened. I just now did. Weight is not the most important thing in life, it is just part of life. I have given myself permission to be a person and not just a number. FANTASTIC!!!!!
Have a great day! Comments are appreciated.
