Got on an accurate scale yesterday. News is NOT good, but maybe I can use that to get myself moving again (literally).
How to achieve and maintain a healthy weight
It made me
feel sexy! 
"very worthwhile"
How I did it: I joined weightwatchers during the summer and I have never looked back I was never very overweight but I felt really unhealthy. My eating has gotten so much healthier and I have lots more energy these days. Im not perfect but I feel great! My confidence has also improved. I always had quite an unhealthy relationship with food but now I now longer binge eat and stuff myself. Weightwatchers is the only system that ever worked for me, and I have tried a million diets. I recommend it to anyone. Im now a healthy weight and I have no problem maintaining it.
Lessons & tips: Drink lots of water, it fills you up. Have a glass of water before a meals and you'll find that you will eat less. Brush your teeth if you feel peckish, itll help supress your appetite! And green tea is brilliant for boosting metabolism. If possible join your local weightwatchers.

I need a reminder on this one...

I’ve been really losing track of it. Time to get it back on the radar.

Holding steady, at best… :(

I'm going to call it a 'win' and move on...

Just checked for the first time in a month… I’ve lost ground since then, but still doing better than I was before Thanksgiving, so I made progress on this over the holidays! That’s not just a ‘two steps forward one step back’ kind of thing, I think it’s something to be proud of. :)
EDIT: After going over the spreadsheet again, I also see that I transitioned from ‘apple shaped’ to ‘pear shaped’. By that measure, I’m in slightly better shape now than I was during my smallest size over that duration. Double yay!

Trends continue to look good. Maybe I can get through the season without ballooning after all!

Haven't checked lately...

but I’ve been stressing a lot lately, which has led to lots of garbage eating. I need to find a better comfort mode, especially as the holidays are coming.

Well, it's something...

I haven’t invested in a scale yet, but I’ve started taking my measurements (as though for knitting for myself) and the inches seem to be going down with some fluctuation…

I’ve fought with food for too long, letting it take the place of other meaningful activities in my life. And now, I find myself overstuffed with food, but otherwise empty. Time to put food in its rightful place and take away it’s power. Food is for providing fuel and nutrients. Food is not love or therapy or an excuse to not do other things.
This is the main goal I am focusing on now, and I’ve dropped nearly 25 pounds. I have about 25 more to go to reach the top of my “healthy” range, and about 40 more to go to get to where I want to be. Small goals: each day that I keep food in its place (by not over eating or undereating – by eating when hungry, making healthful choices, and stopping when satisfied) is a successful day.
Health issues must come before weight loss

I’ll re-add this goal later, but until I get my health issues (especially the musculo-skeletal ones) sorted, trying to lose weight is setting myself up for failure.

That didn't go far...

Well, I’ll try something else. At least I knew this one wouldn’t be easy going into it.
