I weighed in this morning and the scales showed a satisfying weight loss of two pounds. Unfortunately I suspect that much of that is due to me weighing in at a different time of day rather than a refection of how well I've done.
I knew that that this week would be tough for me - I am strongly affected by PMT and have so much going on around me at the moment that I've not had the space to use any good coping techniques. There has been far too much munching of sweets and chocolate and not enough decent meals. But that is now over and it is time to pick up all those balls that have been dropped.
I like to consider weightloss in monthly chunks as it allows me to adapt my routine according to which point in the cycle I am in. I think this is why I've enjoyed the kickstarters so much. Some days I'm full of energy and this is when I can get in the miles. And when PMT strikes I will allow myself a few more treats to try to avoid feeling deprived. I rarely binge but I do believe that this is usually down to heading myself off as soon as I realise that I'm feeling low more than anything else.
Do you have any coping strategies [with regard to weightloss] for dealing with the ups and downs that life throws at us?
