Weigh in # 74

This week should have been number 75 but I had a colonoscopy last week and never weighed in. The procedure wasn't successful despite my prep being done exactly as spelled out. I went from being mortified to pissed when I read the label "poor prep".  This isn't the place to go into all of that but I am no hurry to repeat the procedure which was a preventative screening, nothing suspicious in my health called for this to be done.

The big change for me this go-round with WW has been realizing that I am an emotional eater, but based on how food tastes not how I was feeling. It has been relatively easy for me to have a taste or normal serving size of something without over indulging. That food will taste good again the next time I eat it, I don't have to consume three helpings right now.

Hunger, including a hunger headache, along with being very annoyed after the procedure last week led to some poor choices. It wasn't so much the meals that were out of control, it was my hand reaching into the bowl of leftover Halloween candy. Do I know better? Of course I do. So why did I keep reaching in? Even after a week of thinking about this, I don't have a good answer.

I'm still down from the weigh in of two weeks ago so a person might wonder what the heck I'm talking about. I'm talking about how easy it is to back slide. I feel like my head is screwed back on straight again. I feel re-focused.

Onward and downward, 83.9 pounds gone.
