Actually, I'm surprised it's not a gain this week. I had a big twist-off with some cookies a few nights ago. I knew better than to start. I've already proved to myself that it's too hard to stop. This night I just gave myself over to it...kinda reminded me of kingkeld's debacle with the buffet, et al a couple of weeks ago. What this does is make me start craving the goodies all over again, so I've been battling back from that for a few days. I'll be ok. I'm not really even upset with myself, other than the fact that it keeps me from reaching my goal sooner. I'm not upset because I recognize it for what it is and know the answer. I also think that because I'm so close to my final goal, I'm at that point where it's just harder to lose those last few pounds...everyone seems to experience this. And I guess, maybe at this point I'm not willing to work that much harder to get it off. Plus, I'm so much more comfortable now with my clothes fitting looser, my feet not hurting, just feeling lighter, y'know? that I don't have that urgent feeling that I gotta get this done! Maybe it's better (haven't decided) if I go on maintenance for awhile, and allow this plateau to play itself out, so to speak. I would maybe come back with a new vengeance after a couple months...I keep saying it, and it's still true: I'm NOT going to go BACK to my old starting weight. I will either maintain here at 143, or progress downward...those are my ONLY choices.
