Today is my fourth day of getting back to eating solely whole foods. It was what i was doing at the beginning of this journey for a good 4 months (lost around 30 pounds) and then it all just came to a screeching halt.
Why? I really don't know. I became passive and had a few cheats. I then continued that pattern thinking that i would be able to get a handle on it and that just a little bit of "bad" food every now and again wouldn't hurt. At the time i stopped eating only whole foods, i weighed about 186 and since then have fluctuated between that and 191. This "fluctuating" has continued since the end of June. That's over 3 months of no weight loss and struggling to find my motivation again. I wonder why i allowed myself to get so off track. I think i had stuck with it for so long that i wanted to see what nasty food was like again. Did it give me any satisfaction? Maybe in the moment, but absolutely no satisfaction in the long run. I now feel that i have wasted the last 3 months when i could have been farther along. I feel way crappier than i did when i was eating all whole foods.
Anyway, i'm finally back on track and know now that falling off track has no benefits to me, other than to make me realize how worth it staying on track is. Eating whole foods is so good for my body too.
Here's to staying on plan forever, and not allowing myself to do this again...or truly live a 90%/10% lifestyle.
I am however very happy that i only fluctuated in weight by only a few pounds, rather than going crazy and gaining it all back in three months (which is highly doable).
