I ended the last round with my lowest weight at 199.8. Just under the 200 mark. I ended it in mid-April -- right before Easter. I did a great job keeping the weight off for the first couple of months. However, in the last month, I had a lot of stress at my job, and things spiraled out of control. At the clinic last Friday (June 11), I weighed in at 209, which was actually a relief because I felt like I weighed 220+. I started the injections on Sunday (6/13). I have enjoyed my "loading days." My weight went up to at least 212 by 6/14.
My head is not in the game. I want to eat everything, and am having a difficult time feeling motivated. However, I know that my "feelings" do not have to control my actions. This is an awesome diet, and it really works. And so, for the next 40+ days, I just have to control my actions. The key to success for me is not to cheat. Once I cheat, I give myself permission to rationalize bad behavior. And it is much simpler to just stay on the straight & narrow path.
My goal for this round is to get to 170. That's an ambitious goal. I am going to work my tail off for this goal. I know every day will be difficult. And that's okay.
I weighed in this morning, and was pleased to see 208.8 on the scale (down from the 212 that registered 2 days ago). The diet is working. And I have english bulldog determination. Ruff.
