Return of the Weight Loss
Written by Amanda on May 25, 2009 – 10:48 pm -Well, my successes in weight loss have pretty much evened out. I have lost almost 10lbs and kept it off for a year, however this is not the progress I envisioned. One success that I can claim is that I am not crash dieting. Before I may have lost a lot of weight on any number of crazy diet plans but then gained twice as much (which is what got me here in the first place). But now, my new motto is moderation.
I am trying to rid myself of the “bad food” and “good food” mentality. That which makes me think that I will never have another piece of junk food - when I do - I decide I should eat more because I already ruined the day. It is hard though. I have dieted for so long that I still label foods and try to restrict myself in unrealistic ways. Instead I have been trying to eat healthier food, make my meals at home, and when I do have junk food - eat a small portion.
When I first started this blog, one of my main motivations was to get ready for my sister’s wedding. Well that day has come and gone and I had a great time even at my current weight. Now I will continue to work on my eating habits and increase my activity level.
