setback

Today I have been quietly telling myself all day that I'm not laying flat out on the ground, from falling off the wagon head first.  However, as I write this, I know that is exactly what I have done.  I knew it first thing this morning and I've been flat out all day.

I weighed in at 254 lbs at the Y, for a loss of 2 lbs and  total loss of 40 lbs.  As soon as I saw the number, I got scared that I'm starting to plateau, which is ridiculous.  Not that I might be at a plateau, but that it was scary.  I know that the scare is because I'm not eating very much and if I can't lose weight eating what I am, then I will stay the weight I am...which is still better than what I was, but not where I want to be.  I also think that the plateau will pass, if it is indeed a plateau, which might be a ridiculous assumption anyway, as I still lost 2 lbs.

I'm sure that if I was figuring this out this morning, that might have been the end of it.  But I didn't, so I ate at school, which is never good, and I ate twice as many wings as I needed tonight for supper.

Now that I have that figured out, that is the end of it!

Thanks for hangin' in through the learning, and laughing, elly
