1.6 you guys! I'm down! And I so so so needed this. I needed to see that scale go down. And not only for my waistline but more so for my mentality towards this whole weight loss thing. I'm not a slave to the scale by any means, but it's how I'm measuring my weight loss so it matters to me what it says each week.
Seeing the scale go up sucks. Seeing the scale go up week after week really sucks and it totally starts to mess with your head after a while. I'm gonna be honest, in the past, after gaining that many weeks in a row, I'd have given up. Thankfully, that thought didn't cross my mind even once throughout this time but it did give me a lot to think about. Progress!

Why was I choosing to have that many snacks throughout the day?
Why was I choosing to have such large portions at dinner?
Why was I choosing to eat something that I knew didn't fit into my eating plan that day?


Essentially I chose to gain weight these past few weeks. I'm not knew to this people. I know how to lose weight. And I wasn't doing the things I had to in order to. I didn't want to gain weight, obvs, but I guess I didn't want to lose weight enough to make the right decisions.

Choosing what you put in your mouth, the food choices, the amount of food, the frequency, it's mostly mental. It's your in your head. Yeah, you get hunger cues from your stomach but [atleast for me] cravings are mental.
So, even though it may be easier to say then do, chose to lose weight, make that choice for yourself, and you will.
