I was back in Belconnen for my weekly weigh-in this morning [now yesterday], and it was good to see a loss. Not a big loss, but I ain't complaining.
A couple of things going on in my head the last couple of weeks are the fact that I'm not eating as much Real Food as I'd like. Or to put it another way, I'm eating too much processed food-like substances. And a lot of it is Weight Watchers brand stuff that I'm eating because it's a way to get to eat some junk food and still stay within my daily point limit. Ice cream. Cookies. Crackers. Fruit bars that are pretty damned short of fruit. It gets the job done, but I really don't think it's the best way to go. The stuff ain't healthy, and it's definitely not sustainable. The recent pig-out is, I think, a big sign that all is not well.
And it wasn't just a pig-out. Yeah, I ate a bunch of crap, but I also had a big emotional nose-dive. I was completely unmotivated. To do anything. I was short-tempered. I was in a seriously bad mood. I was depressed. Luckily, once I was up and about again, the depression lifted, and I'm feeling much better now.
But it's worrying to realize just how quickly I slipped back down into that kind of state, and it's clearly something that I'm going to have to watch out for in the future.
[Update - I just realized that I didn't publish this on Saturday. Luckily it was auto-saved as a draft, and now I'll post it on Sunday night at 8:21pm.]
