Finally! On a downward trajectory- 1.8 pounds lost this week. The last two days was where the scale finally got some traction. I did do some extra recreational eating earlier in the week so not shocking. Generally held my own for the first part of the week and then did a drop.
I do my 'round up' data by the month. One of the things I have been tracking since 2019 is my gain or loss by the month. I discovered that in 2019 when I lost 49.8 pounds that I gained 1.8 pounds in one month. In 2020 when I lost 16.2 pounds, I gained a total of 7 pounds (4 months that I logged in an overall gain) and in 2021 when I lost 13.2 pounds, I gained a total of 7.6 pounds (3 months that I logged in an overall gain). The obvious thing is that had I just managed to log a zero in those months I wouldn't have to re-lose what I had gained. It also meant that 1/3 and 1/4 of the years I was not only not moving forward but was losing ground.
Why do I care? Right now in the month of February I logged in a 4 pound gain which wiped out January's loss of 2 pounds. I do not want to keep repeating this pattern and it is only two months in and I already have a month where I had a gain. I want to stop this trend now! March is thus far looking good as I am down 4.8 pounds however that can easily be wiped out in the next couple of weeks if I am not being diligent.
This week has been filled with volunteer commitments, bookkeeping for others, getting my taxes done and some zoom meetings. Just the regular run of the mill stuff. My artist is getting started on the mural in my home. He has a plan and has painted the space to start prepping. I am excited!!

So exciting about the mural! Do you know what it is going to be of? Great job on tracking your gains and losses. May you have great results the rest of this month, and then continue into the months ahead.

Progress is progress! My February was terrible! So far this month, I have lost a few, but really struggling with feelings....
Self pity about calories; frustration lingers about very small losses; fear of what happens if I "quit" again....
For you, stay the course. You CAN do this! (I will do the same)

3dkids2- I have found that small losses really add up in the long run. It is the big flucuations either up or down that are debilitating. My emotions run rampant in times like those. Avoid the self pity piece. You are doing this for you! You get to eat good nutritious food that is tasty. When you can make the shift where you see those high calorie dense foods as something that you no longer aspire to but actually prefer your present way of eating, you are on your way! My grandchilren are an inspiration to me. They were seldom given sugary treats and now as teenagers they genuinely don't prefer to eat poorly. Good luck in your journey!

Debbie- I am very excited about the mural. It will be a fantasy scene -- think Lord of the Rings type thing. I am having him incorporate my family members into the picture. My grandson's name is Griffin and there will be a Griffin in the mural. My son is a very large man and he will make an appearance as a giant. My daughter and sister will be fairies and I will be the fairy queen! Just general likenesses not photographic.
