It's been a little over a year since I've been on Fat Secret, but I have been attending WW at work. That program ended and they will most likely not start a new one until after the new year, so I decided to check back here to keep myself motivated. I was pleased to find I had lost 6 pounds in that year. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it was a very distressing and stressful year at work, so I'm just glad it's not 6 pounds in the other direction.
Now I'm retired. Right now I'm adjusting to not having an overwhelming schedule and trying to keep myself from finding things to stress over - seems like once I got into that habit it has become hard to stop. But I am finding there are fewer urges to eat or overeat. That has been one of the biggest changes with my diet. I can no longer keep eating long after I'm full. My "I'm full" meter seems to be overactive and I am quickly satisfied with a small amount of food. Not complaining.
Looking forward to following everyone's progress again and joining the struggle - I should say enjoying the struggle. It's great to find other interests besides eating becoming more important. I'm not getting as much exercise as I did at work just walking the halls and going up and down stairs for meetings, but one of my goals is to get the house clean and repaired. Giving myself a couple of months of downtime first, but then it's time to get busy with something I want to do!
