jmb3450's Journal, 20 August 2014

Weighed in this morning at 227.5 which is a new low, so reducing my caloric intake these past 2 days is showing quick results. I'm targeting 1300 calories again today and tomorrow, not sure about Friday yet. Not wanting to keep the calories this low for too long but it is shocking my body back to good weight loss after Sunday's over indulgence.

I've been thinking about this past Sunday...as I've said it was good in one way to just let go and eat what I wanted, knowing it was a one day thing and I'd go back to eating less right away. But at the same time it would be nice to get together with family, enjoy the time and food together, but also eat in moderation and not go overboard. That would be another measure of control and evidence of real lifestyle change. We don't get together as an entire family that often, when we do my brothers and I like to bring specialty beers and have tastings and of course there's always good food to be had. Next time I'll test my resolve and set limits ahead of time. If I can do that then I'm showing I really am in control of food rather than it controlling me. Afterwrds in the future I can choose whether I want to indulge then adjust or if I will just refrain or enjoy in moderation.

Got a busy day ahead running all over the county fixing computer/network issues as school is starting next week. Have a great day, do the best you can with whatever the circumstances life has you in.

That is a good plan. Just because everybody else is eating too much doesn't mean you have too. Some people don't care how they look like, some have a really fast metabolism and some people want to gain weight. I always choose to limit my intake and not go over my RDI even on parties or family gatherings. Than I am proud of myself.
