So my lowest weight in about a year. It's not too much but I will take it. I went on vacation at the beginning of May and was gone for a week. Being at a music festival for 3 days and driving all over town to see museums and such meant eating 2 meals out at restaurants, and festival food, for the majority of the time. I gained 4 lbs while I was gone. That was a bummer but also less than I expected it to be. It kept me from going over 230 again. I have now lost those 4 lbs and about 1 more pound as well. It's been a good month overall (even with the scale's gyrations) as I realized how much more automated my new habits are becoming and the older ones are dying away. Even being on vacation it was dialed in to eat 3 meals a day, and only having 1 snack happened on 2 of the days. I found that being in the car for 6 hours didn't bring on those cravings for snacks, or wanting to stop for road food, like it used to in the past. I really wasn't interested. On the way home I decided it was time to have a "never again" rule with movie popcorn. Not that we had a movie planned but I knew in my heart that this needed to happen because I have so much mental dialogue and anxiety every time I go to the movies. My hubs and I end up fighting about the popcorn and I usually (always) end up eating too much of it and in a way that is just mindless. So we get back home and our friend invites us to the movies! We go and it was no problem At All! I was in shock and felt in such control; I couldn't believe it to be honest. Last night we went to the movies again and no popcorn and none of that merry go round in my mind with thoughts about it before hand either. I'm getting better people. It really wows me! Now to get below 225.
