This bummed me out because I was so thrilled to weigh in yesterday (my first full day back from Delaware) and find myself up only 1/2 pound from the day I left for Rehoboth (Thanksgiving). But today I'm up another 1/2 pound. There's definitely a creep going on here since I've been averaging closer to 161-162 for a while, so I need to take some action.

Down a pound I think. This puts me at where I've been for the past 1-2 months. I did see the scales jerk downwards on Monday and I was determined to get back on the wagon... and then I pigged out the very next day.
I suppose I should be thankful I'm not gaining, but then I start to wonder: if I'm doing THIS (and this, and this...) and maintaining, then what could I achieve (in terms of weight loss) if I really tried??

I didn't weigh, and haven't weighed for several days now. I am doing a little science experiment here. I hated that weighing daily, first thing in the morning set my mood for the day. If I was up, I would figure, what the hell, I'm already up a few so I'll eat this muffin, and the a cheeseburger, and whatever else. If I was down, then I would be worried about everything I ate just so that scale wouldn't move or maybe it would go down even more. I was becoming scale obsessed. I am going to try weighing only once a week for now. I will do it on a Wednesday, starting next Wednesday but I feel like I need to not have that number in my head all day long, every single day. So much for having a "healthy body image", LOL!

208.5. Up .5 from pre Thanksgiving weight. All in all I am not too upset about it.
I ate the things I liked and enjoyed myself. The only things I would have done differently were to go lighter on the cheese and crackers and drink more water.
