Recently, someone wrote on the WW'ers 100+ board about the idea, "Protect your weight loss." I know people who have gone to dramatic lengths to protect the body they have created through weight loss, and I admire them and hope to gain wisdom from their good example. Looking at my entire ww'ers weight history below, you can see where I let go of something precious, a very miracle, that I had created. It isn't worth looking back at the relative value of what I traded it for, but it is worth looking forward and insuring it doesn't happen again.
I spent the entire week on the road, starting in Ottawa, Ontario. The opportunistic little national symbol pictured above was eating leaves leftover after the trees were pruned in front of the National Archives. At rush hour, he looked a bit like a beggar. "Eating with dignity" is not his thing!
I felt a bit prickly all week. I wanted to avoid dealing with the 250s for the third time this year, and going into the week at 249 put all my weight loss intentions on full alert status. I had to counter my attraction to the various foods, as well as the intentions of friends and waiters to overfeed me. A friend commented that I seemed over-restrictive. This is what it takes. I finally arrived home on Friday evening and my Saturday morning weight was 249.5. So, I'm still in the 240s game. It is going to take a lot more prickly to protect.
