Yippee, crossed the 25 lb mark today....and almost to 30 lbs off which feels good....I had a good week this week..only went off my program a couple of times...had a footlong from Subway...damn them for being so addictive!!! Then got a crispy chicken caesar wrap and FRIES from Wendy's...yum, those salty fries tasted soooo good....but otherwise was just home a lot with no temptations....that definitely helps. I am lucky that way, living alone and not having much of a social life makes it easier to resist temptations...and I am having sleep issues so am sometimes only out of bed 12 hours a day..which makes for fewer hours in which to eat!!! A lot of the time I only eat 2 meals a day if I've slept a lot....
I'm still remarkably not stressed/anxious about all of this...but my life is less stressful than other times that I've tried to lose weight. I know a lot of my overeating is from stress and anxiety and from emotional eating. At this stage in my life, I am home alone a lot so not as much stress as if I were out in the world working/commuting, etc. every day.
I've been sorting and organizing pictures from the 1990s on. It's been interesting to see how my weight has fluctuated over the years...I'm putting together a weight time line which is interesting...trying to understand what was happening in my life at different times when my weight was going up...or when I was more successful at keeping it down...just trying to see patterns there that might help me deal with things better in the future. I am definitely better able to deal with my issues now than when I was younger...the maturity and self acceptance at age almost-60 is so much better than at any other point in my life...and hopefully will continue so as I keep on going with the weight loss...
