I am discovering that the biggest hurdle I have to overcome is allowing stress and worry and anxiety to derail my weight loss plans. Interestingly, these problems that I have struggled with all my life and that caused me to turn to food for comfort in recent years are now having the opposite effect. So, if I am all tied up in knots I do not overeat, I under-eat because I get too uptight to cook my evening meal which is my most important meal of the day and end up eating a bowl of cereal or pot of yogurt. This is really bad because there are days when this is ALL I eat and I do not want to end up on that road. When my mother passed away, almost 25 years ago, I was already naturally thin at the time but I just lost the will to eat with sadness and became dangerously underweight within a few months. Eventually my doctor issued me with an ultimatum to gain weight or be admitted to hospital so I forced myself to get my weight back to normal and it stayed like that until it ballooned up to what it is now, again, directly connected with my 'mood disorder'. Anyway, knowledge is power and just writing this down and acknowledging the problem to myself will help me to control things. As much as I want to lose weight, I want it to happen the right way. Well, this weigh-in will show that there are no immediate concerns lol. I'm happy enough for another while and as I often say, in the words of the infamous Bob Dylan, I'm going to 'keep on keepin' on'.
