On the weight loss journey, August was a total detour. Have figured out what went wrong, undone the damage, and am moving in the right direction again at last. It has seemed like this when I lost a lot of weight several years ago...plateaus on the way down seem to coincide with weights I managed to stick at for a good while on my way up. Cravings surface during those periods, too, making me want foods I havent eaten in ages. I am beginning to wonder if there is some sort of body memory at work in these times. I used to get frustrated and give up, undoing what I had struggled so hard to do. Now, I try to ride it out, not get emotional about the situation, and stick to the main road as much as possible, until I have navigated through that rough stretch. Funny, but yesterday, my brain got really busy on a few housekeeping chores that had needed doing for ages. These things seem to go hand-in-hand for me, too. Maybe getting busy organizing the spice rack and cleaning out closets helped me stay out of the pantry, and glide past the cravings that had been hounding me for weeks now. Looking forward to getting into the gym on a full schedule this week, and returning to the do jhang next Monday, bright and early. Had hoped to be three pounds lighter by September 1, but at least I am almost thirty pounds lighter than six months ago.
