I haven't really updated this in a while, so I figured it's about time. Last time I weighed myself I was at around 165, but I have been down to 162 at one point. I guess I'm just going to be losing at a turtle rate since it's been three months since I posted last, and I've only lost around 10 pounds since then. If I was consistent enough with THM to actually stick to it for more than a few days at a time :P, I know that I'd be further along than I am. But the good news is that I have LOST weight, even if it's not at the speed I'd like, and I have NOT gained weight!
So, I will just keep swimming and get back up after I fall (off the THM wagon). I know that eventually I will be where I want to be. It may take me two years, but I'm getting there. Slowly, but surely! It's easy to make excuses because my life is kind of stressful right now. I'm homeschooling two kids. I also have a six month old and three year old and a dog. It's not like I'm twiddling my thumbs with nothing to do. Food has always been my stress reliever, unless it's serious stress, like taking a test or making a huge life decision. Dealing with the bickering of children and getting them to do the work they're supposed to do: that's the stress that leads to eating unhealthy food.
My combat plan: always have something sweet (not sugar sweet, on plan healthy sweet) to enjoy at some point during the day. I need my chocolate! I love my soda (Zevia--a Stevia sweetened, not artificial alternative to sugar). I am thankful that I can still enjoy the foods I love, even if I need to tweak them a bit to make them healthier. I'm in this for the long haul!
