Well 5.2 to be exact. :)
I'll explain the 10 days first. Because the school semester is over, I no longer have Wednesday mornings free, so I switched my meeting to Saturday. Therefore, last week I did not weigh on Wednesday, but had to wait and weigh on Saturday.
Now to the 5.2. Part of it is because I was sick at the end of last week and didn't eat or drink anything for 2 days. Part of this is because over the last month or so, my appetite has significantly decreased leading up to the week before Thanksgiving when I didn't eat all day. Over the last few weeks, I will actually get hungry, then I look at food or manage to take a bit or two and feel nauseous. It's very odd.
What I am not doing is fighting it. I eat when I'm hungry. I stop when either I'm full or nauseous. I pay very close attention to my body's signals. I am going to deal with what you may be wondering up front: I do not have an eating disorder. I am not starving myself. I quite simply am only eating what my body says I need. We are getting to know each other.
I have lost 12.4 pounds since the beginning of November, and 7.4 so far this month!
I am loving the new direction my life is taking, and I think my concentration on the short term, each day, each week, instead having tunnel vision on my goal weight is definitely helping.
Until next time,
:)
