Day -89 -- Diet Disaster Diverted?

So, I’ve not discussed my weight in quite awhile. That’s because I’ve been fighting to not GAIN weight since the office gave me an end-date. I didn’t think it was stress, but it might have been.

I managed to get under 290 in May, and as low as 284.0 at one point. Then the fight began. I was trying very hard to stay under the 290. I failed. One August 19th, I hit that 290 spot. This was just before vacation time. I decided to not weigh in, not only during the vacation, but for an equal number of days after. The hope was that if I restarted the lower-carb dieting after getting back to Florida, I might remove the new pounds I had added.

To be honest, my real hope was to not see 300 on the scale again.

So, I got back on September 8th, and on the 9th, went back to lowering intake. This morning was the day to see what had happened.

I couldn’t even make a good guess as to what I would see. My thoughts were anywhere from 285 to 305.

Well, that’s enough suspense.

I am at 285.2.

I survived a vacation. I’d suggest this “method” to others that are knowing they are going to be away from their diet plan for some time. DON"‘T weigh in during the vacation, or for an equal number of days after, while you reset. Knowing this was my plan, I didn’t have the anxiety of what I might have gained. Well, at least not until last night when I knew I’d be weighing in this morning.

Now, I still want to drop some more before the office tosses me out the door.. It’ll make it easier for me to get up, look back, and laugh at them!!!

Enjoy Life
