and the damn scales at Boots near home aren't working either - its a plot I tell you. So am going to assume I stayed the same as thats what my scales at home vaguesly tell me.
Had my medical for the adoption updated today and I was discussing the weight issues with the doctor in passing.
He said something interesting that we could all learn from but will find difficult to accept... he says you should aim for a weight loss of 2lb PER MONTH if you are clinically obese. make it part of your life, give yourself more treats, lose less but be on it for years. He says its much healthier to lose weight that slowly and its proven that people who lose weight that slowly are far less likely to put it on again as they have spent years getting used to a different way of eating. He says he actively disapproves of people losing 2lb per week on the whole (obviously occasionnally is fine in the same way as putting on occasionally is fine).
So thats what I'm going to condition myself to be happy with - 2lb per month. I'm going to put my weight on a spreadsheet and graph it and plot 2lb per month and keep an eye on that as a monthly target.
I was really surprised - somehow always thought GP would disaprove of not losing at least a pound a week - feel like I have "permission" to lose very slowly but steadily.
