Another Monday means another weigh in, hm? I’ll get right to the numbers.

SW: 256 pounds
LW: 242 pounds
CW: 244 pounds

A two pound gain. Could be better, could be worse, but I’m not complaining and I’m trying not to let it get to me. I have been having a hard time dealing with all the stress lately. I’m not sure what tipped the scale over – no TOM (now a week late), work load, becoming very emotionally sensitive, other physical things – but the scale officially tipped last week and a gain is evidence of that.

I stuck to the diet, but I could have done better. I drank water every day, but I could have done better. I tried to eat on schedule, but I could have done better. I didn’t binge, but when it came to portion control, I could have done better.

Don’t worry; this isn’t me beating myself up. I promise. This is me looking at what I can improve.

Today marks the last full week of the restricted diet and I am proud of how much I have changed and given up in the name of my health. I’m hoping the naturopath will be happy with my results and will have whatever it is I need in addition so my body can start functioning completely normally again.

I’m thinking about doing something special on Friday to mark having done all this, but I’m not sure what to do…
