Well, I was going to try to wait for a 199.8 weigh in but the last time I didn’t record a new low the scale karma gave me back over 3lbs… so I’m posting now. Today. Yep.

Not much else ‘new’ going on other than I fell asleep one night watching YouTube sewing videos & woke up to the world of ‘junk journals’ - which is basically a current form of ‘scrapbooking’. At first I was turned off because it seemed confined to crafters using $$$ of equipment but then I found a Dollar Tree $15 challenge and that appealed to me. So I’m doing that in between the sewing & painting and usual obsessive other things I do.

What’s the point of that, you ask?

Well, I’ll tell ya.

It’s all part of my learning moderation. I recognized the past year of weight loss just sort of ‘passed’ with me not being OCD every day about calories & macros & activity & weighing & measuring & size. Ya know?

For ME - because I’m trying to stave off that ‘lather, rinse, repeat’ of weight loss & regain - I’m trying to NOT put my focus on weight loss at 110%. I recall how I’d reached goal weight in the past but ‘maintenance’ wasn’t the same as losing and I ‘think’ that’s what caused the regain. Lack of focus.

Soooo my PLAN here (and I’m not recommending anyone else try this … ) my PLAN is .. if I spread the mindful eating out over the other mindful processes (instead of sewing 12 hours straight) I may be able to make it a part of daily LIFE rather than a temporary project.

You know - the way normal, logical, SANE people do things.

Here’s hoping.

200.6 lb Lost so far: 63.4 lb.    Still to go: 20.6 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
