Weigh in was last night. I mentioned in the last post my week included a crazy schedule, food from out of the box, alcohol... I was hoping to just maintain my weight this week. I wasn't planning for a loss, or even hoping.
Since I've been in the maintenance phase (which has now been about 14 weeks), I've lost another 14+ pounds. Certainly, I'd be glad to lose more. But, I haven't been as focused on weight loss during this phase. I've been more interested in freedom and maintenance. And, I have enjoyed that freedom. However, some days I'm reminded that my feeling of freedom is really false. While I do enjoy the freedom of not being stuck in the box all the time, I am reminded every Monday at weigh in that freedom I've been enduring is false.
Truth is, I'm never free. My weight is always going to be an issue. And, I can't forget that or I will fall back into bad patterns.
Anyway, the weigh in was, actually, great. I weighed exactly the same on the scale, to the ounce! Guess I just got lucky. But, it was a good reminder of to be cause of my new found freedom!
