My weekly weigh-in and meeting was on Saturday. I was dreading going to the meeting because I wasn't feeling well at all - I had been up most of the night with some pretty terrible cramping in my stomach/lower abdomen. I got up a little later than normal and went to the 9:30 meeting instead of my normal 8 a.m. meeting. When I got on the scale, I was ecstatic to find out that I lost 3 pounds this week. This gives me a total weight loss of 10.8 pounds since January 3rd! While I wish that the weight would come off quicker, I am happy as a lark to have met my 10 lb/5% goal!
The topic of this weeks meeting was "Why did I do that?" This is a question that I ask myself regularly. Lynn, our leader, asked us to think about times when we may eat and we aren't really hungry and the feelings that come from that. I am a boredom eater. I hate that I do it, but I have gotten better. Lynn reintroduced the "reframing" tool - this involves understanding the negative behavior and trying to find a way to keep the negative behavior from occurring. I have realized that I can make a huge difference just by making better food choices when I am bored and by just doing something rather than eating when I am bored.
