I've Done It & Feeling Proud!

I've finally crossed that long plateau and once again on the down side on the scale and back to dropping pounds.  YEAH!!!!  Finally after close to 4 weeks see sawing a pound up or down today I've dropped 2 pounds from last week's weigh in!!!!  NOW maybe I'll have incentive to staying on track better.  I'm even getting better at my restaurant choices and amounts again.  Heck, I still have 95% of the small bag of Halloween treats Sylvia gave me.  Trick is I bought a cute 3 piece Snowman from Dollarama and hid them inside - out of sight if not mind and only have one or two at the most but not daily.   Dang 5 months ago they'd all have been gone lickety split!  HA HA HA!

Well it helped knowing I'm now prediabetic and seeing how Mom struggled with diabetis and now 3 sisters on various med for it - I just cold turkey changed my eating habits and increased my walking to avoid it.  It's hard as I'm a junk food addict like large bag of chips n dip with a litre of Pepsi for supper very often in between large pizzas.  Definitely not healthy.

OMĢG my comment sounds like it was so easy and I had control.  NOT, I slipped a few times especially on that long plateau stretch but I didn't let the bad habits take hold, I got back on track and for me going for a long walk always kick starts that for me.  I just can't believe the control I have with Pepsi.  I'm gonna have to take the last two 750 ml bottles to Barb as its been now 5 months and the last bottle I had over three sessions over a week like three weeks ago.  I used to drink a litre or more a day each day too.

Yay! You are certainly well on track and here's wishing you more of the same :-)

I have a little 'tr7ck' to keep from gorging on chocolates - I break them down into individual pieces (Cadbury squares/rectangles, Toblerone triangles, ...) and store in a Rocher Ferrero box. This way I only pick one piece to nibble on, at most (only rarely) on 2 pieces, thus keeping both my sweet tooth & calorie intake happy ;-P

Like you, I don't believe in absolutely eliminating anything from my diet ; only proportioning it.
Way to go :-)

You're doing amazing. ALWAYS, ALWAYS keeping on top of it after the little slips is so rewarding.

Yes like I buy the small individual servings like Halloween treats.
