Whoops!

Most of my readers know that back in 2006, I lost about 25 pounds. The weight had come on gradually, over the course of about 7 years, one little pound at a time. I never did much about it, because "117 is almost 115," and then "120 is almost 117," etc.

When I lost the weight, I successfully kept my range between 111 and 113 for the better part of two years. However, lately it's begun to creep up again. I was a bit miffed when it stayed at 113, but it was still in my range and I didn't care. It scooted up to 114 last week, but I still didn't do much about it. Today it was 115, and I'm drawing the line in the sand. I'm going to be good until it goes down that 2 or 3 pounds I need to be back in my range. It shouldn't take more than a week or two.

Some people might say I'm freaking out over two pounds. But when I look back at my history, I realize that if I didn't, I'd begin the slow climb back up to where I don't want to be.

(For the record, "be good" doesn't mean "don't eat." "Be good" simply means cutting back on the fast food and desserts and paying attention to portion size. I don't diet, but I do pay attention to the food that goes into my body.)

That's fairly common and infacnt normal if you're approaching 30. Then again, I don't know how old you are so if you're only 26, I can understand the conern.

Keep it up Honey :)

You are doing it the smart way.

Might be teaching you to suck eggs, but you're definitely weighing yourself at the same time of day each time, right? A big meal and a few drinks could easily account for a 2 pounds difference, as could water retention at the wrong time of the month. When I weigh myself I always make sure it's first thing in the morning, before breakfast but after my morning ablutions.

Yup, it's always first thing in the morning, just like you.
