Well, I haven't quite pulled myself together yet. I've had a really fun week or two, it has to be said. Sometimes letting one's hair down is worth it! But now thinking it's time to get back to normal again as I feel wobbly. Amazing how quickly I can gain/lose. Hmm. I find myself wondering occasionally whether I was actually healthier at 16 stone because my weight was stable. The past two years have been a bit of a rollercoaster - 18lb on, 18lb off etc etc. Mad!
I guess I'm learning - but there are some behaviours I really need to sort out if I'm going to stay a size 10/12 in perpetuity. It would be so easy to give up and just "accept" being a 14... but that's how I got so big in the first place.
The thing is sometimes it IS nice to have some chocolate, and sometimes it IS nice to have a biscuit and sometimes it IS nice to have a glass of wine. It's making sure that doesn't trigger two weeks of "off road" eating that I haven't quite worked out yet.
The past few weeks I've been tackling some assertiveness/office politics issues head on, which has been quite draining and tiring. This isn't necessarily a valid reason for overdoing the carbs - but it is a bit of an explanation for why I've found it harder than usual to stay on track. Old behaviours do stick a bit!
