You know Sunday night I promised myself not to get on the scale on Monday morning after the insane food fest of the weekend. The thing about all that was that that I knew I wasn't overeating for what I needed to do on Sunday. I mean I would make different choices obviously on a regular basis, and the overall quantity probably needs to be less - but given what I weighed in at on Saturday, and what I weighed on Monday when I did not keep my promise to myself...I was shocked. I was only up 2.4lbs to 146.6 yesterday morning...I don't think that was fat either, some sodium from eating out every single meal and I think that's about it! And even today, after I spent the day basically on the sofa doing *nada*...just about the same as it was yesterday.
Trying not to overthink it(harder than you might think, hahah) but I keep going back to how much I ate this weekend vs a "regular" day for me, and wondering how much/if at all i am undereating on a regular basis. This shouldn't be so hard and I'm probably continuing to over think and over complicate it, so I need to stop - just putting these thoughts out there though.
Right now I'm just going to keep on the same path....
I wonder how long I need to keep proving to myself, over and over, that I can do this. As long as it takes I imagine. Another brick in the path has been laid...
Yes..."as long as it takes." That has been my mantra for well over a year now...with the last bit of it being, "and that's okay." :-)
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing is "In the end, it takes as long as it needs to take...and that's okay."
Not sure how I missed this post on Tuesday . . .
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about whether or not you are chronically under-eating, but I think you will figure it out for yourself one day at a time, one brick at a time . . . .
Keep tuning to how you are feeling - energy, mental focus, sleep - you will get used to the good way that sufficient calories make you feel and that feedback loop will help you lay that solid path.
