Skipped my weigh-in because I was away for Christmas with my grandparents. And I never weigh on a scale different than mine. I'm a little kooky that way.
I am actually planning on getting myself a really nice new Weight Watchers scale when I get down to like 148 or so. The reason that I'm waiting for that weight is that I typically have false gains on new scales (which is why I'm so picky about sticking to one scale for accuracy).
When I switched to this scale (an upgrade from the non-digital) I "gained" 7 pounds. 7 POUNDS. Which, yes, made me sad. :-( But that's what I used for my new starting weight on Fatsecret at the time.
So I am waiting until I get 7 pounds below a healthy BMI before I upgrade scales again, just in case it happens again. I would hate to be suddenly overweight again, right when I get out of that category! (For the record, I'm not out of that category yet, but I'm getting close!)
Anyway, I thought that I would copy and paste the latest blog entry from my blog, Leah: The Kind Weight Watcher (kindlifeofleah.blogspot.com) so that you could get a good idea of where I'm at regarding my Christmas eating:
Christmas: The Good, The Bad, and The Victorious!
The good: There was very little stress. I decided ahead of time to have a stress-free holiday this year. Just going into it with that attitude really helped me. I enjoyed time with my family, good food (I'll get to exactly how much and what in a minute), and good times. I think that this may be the first Christmas as an adult that I actually genuinely enjoyed from start to finish.
The bad: I ate a lot. A lot of JUNK. A lot of CRAP. And I threw my "good-girl Christmas Plan" from my last blog entry out the window for about 48 hours (Christmas morning through late last night). I have no idea how many PointsPlus I consumed. But I can assume it's somewhere in the 100+ range. Those tiny cookies and bite-sized candies really add up. Especially my vegan peanut butter balls that I made using mostly peanut butter, coconut, corn syrup, and sugar.
The Victorious: I honestly don't care that I ate too much. I have no fear whatsoever of long-term regain. If I gained anything from two days of gluttony, I know that it will be gone within a couple of weeks, and I will be able to continue on my weight loss journey with no problems. Also, I looked amazing in all of the photos (coming soon!) and the compliments from family who hadn't seen me since last Christmas felt great. Next year's Christmas plan: Don't make a Christmas Plan. Just enjoy myself for a couple of days and focus on family fun.
