Because I'm a total nerd, I wore my "I'm a Nervous Rex" shirt to my psychiatrist appointment today.
I was at 149.8, which is down from last week's 153.0. Last Wednesday, I was stunned to see that number after having skipped a weigh-in. So, keeping that in mind all week, I was able to make some better choices overall.
I'd still like to work on eating at the table, so I think I might start with just one meal at a time. First will be dinner, because that is the easiest one (for me, anyway). When the family is home, I actually really love to sit down and eat together (even if the boys do finish their food before I even take a bite of mine!). I'll see how it goes this week, and then next week I may add in another meal.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with how I did this week--even though I didn't do what I had challenged myself to do, I made some progress by changing up the way I'd been snacking. Rather than eating high-calorie junk, I had fruit (or nothing at all, after eating a filling dinner). I consciously drank more water, although definitely not as much as I aim for.
I'm hoping to have another good week. Once I get at least a few more days under my belt, I'll start to feel more confident. It was really nice not seeing the scale go up (yet again) this week, though!
Yay! I know it's "JUST" a number on the scale, but I also know you needed this. Good job on adjusting the habits. It's tough. Hope the shrink visit went well too.
