Went over my calorie budget today by about 100 calories, but rode my bike for 45 minutes. I'm so afraid I'm going to gain back all my weight. It was one of those days I got really hungry. I'd like to know how to stay within budget every single day, because if I knew how, I'd do it. :(

I don't have a mobile, so I have to remember everything I ate until I can get to my computer. Sometimes I write it down on paper first, but even that is really tricky because if I'm in the kitchen and my notebook is in a drawer somewhere, and I get really hungry, I just start eating and tell myself I'll write it all down later.. And that's how I trick my brain into thinking I'm not eating over my allowance. This is my biggest downfall, not what I eat. My diet is really clean, but it's monotonous because I have so many food intolerances I can't eat a lot of different foods. Wish I loved vegetables more.

This is a real challenge. I don't know if I'll ever lose that last 20 pounds at this rate.

Weight fluctuations, especially the ones that go UP make me want to give up. I'll go for weeks around the same weight and I keep thinking it's a plateau. It gets so frustrating and I always think I'm doing something wrong. But I'm also learning that weight loss isn't a ski slope, it's more like a flight of stairs. The body adjusts to changes and it's a slow process.

I'm learning how to eat, how to exercise, how to listen to my body, not to compare myself to others, and most of all to be patient.

I read yesterday that vigorous exercise can cause the body to store glycogen in response to inflammation, along with water, so that whenever we do a lot of exercising weight sometimes goes UP rather than down (crazy!) until the body lets go of that water. I'm just writing this so I can look back later and remind myself.

I started at 167 in September. It's now March and I'm at 143. My goal is 125. It's slow going, but steady with ups and downs, which is normal.

I used to think I could lose 5-10 pounds a month. Now I know better. Slow and healthy is the way to go.
