Getting there..... Been exercising and eating well. Not tracking, but as long as I keep going thus direction I think I'm okay to skip that part. Plus I eat so much of the same stuff so it's easy to know calories in general.

Not off to the strongest start in May. Didn't track any food for the last 3 or 4 days. Also a handful of days before that I started off the day strong, but didn't track anything I ate for supper.

I backslid this week, weight-wise, which I documented. I was previously at 30 pounds lost and I've gained about a half pound these last two Saturdays, putting me at 29 pounds lost instead.

Over these last few days that I've reverted back to my old way of eating I've noticed a few things that made me appreciate how far I've come, so I wanted to journal them.

1. I've felt incredibly uncomfortable after these few days of continual overeating. I've been minimizing portions since January, and yeah, I've overeaten for a meal here and there, but not like this... Not every meal of every day. I was honestly miserable.

2. Before I lost this weight I was up constantly in the middle of the night with such severe thirst that I about couldn't cope. Probably a combination of being borderline diabetic and the salt intake. This was one of the first things to disappear when I started eating better. It was back in force on Friday and Saturday night. I was up drinking water intermittently in the night.

3. HEARTBURN. Enough said. I'm not used to stuffing myself so full anymore! There were three times this weekend that I felt acid reflux. I haven't had that for months now.

4. The sugar shakes. After pigging out on sweets, my 'come-down' was awful. Once the sugar wore off, I was irritable, sweaty and shaky. Don't miss that AT ALL. The cycle kept me craving and eating too much sugar and carbs.

5. I was sluggish. I was so bogged down by my poor food choices, the last thing I wanted to do was get moving. The weather was gorgeous all weekend and I didn't hardly step outside. I sat on my couch and watched Netflix.

So, that's just my little recap of the worst parts. Probably more for my own benefit, but this is how I learn. I don't want to be dealing with all of those things all of the time. I enjoy people telling me I look great these days and more importantly, I LOVE how truly great I feel.

I know that eventually I'll probably go through this again, or have weak days or failed meals, but last night, in my misery, I couldn't wait to be back on track today. The old me would have been so discouraged, I wouldn't have logged on here again for months. I'm really changed and I love it.
