Eating More Food as My Reward for Weight Loss

August 10, 2013

Yeah, I still have these destructive habits!
When I hit 188 pounds -- my lowest weight in a dozen years -- I rewarded myself with a late night extra meal that included a foot-long chili cheese dog.  I ate over three thousand calories that day.
I made that same mistake a week or so later, eating cake for two days, and Little Debbies, and cookies.
Weighing 190 today, I'm still up a pound and a half from my lowest weight of 188.6. 
Nevertheless, I shall not be moved.
My goal for the year was to WRITE DOWN everything that went into my mouth.  Now, over seven months later, I'm still keeping track of the calories I feed my belly. 
On New Year's Day, I weighed 213; so even with the one-pound weight gain, I am still down 23 pounds this year. 
Down it creeps.  Step by step, pound by pound.  Slowly I am turning back into this skinny woman I haven't seen for decades.
