I was on a roll on this diet thing up until about 3 weeks ago. Bottom line: I don't feel nearly as motivated now as I did as recently as last month. I'm working hard not to blow it, having lost 27 lbs. already. Lately, however, I've been going out more than I used to and treating myself to things I wouldn't have ordered when I first started the program. Having said that, this is also the time I need to teach myself to eat right off of Jenny Craig. I only got 2 weeks worth of food in my last order to use over the course of a month, so that's a start.
I honestly think stress is playing a role in my changed attitude. I'm in the mist of trying to get things in order in my professional life, and I think all the anticpation and wondering and worrying has taken its toll on me. Today, for example, I was up at 3am to be into work by 4, but I only had three hours of sleep, and I ended up eating one extra meal because I was up for such a long time... Also, I've been exercising more, which increases my appetite, so I find that I'm more hungry these days.
I'm a little scared to step on the scale tomorrow. I don't think I've gained anything back, but I'll be surprised if I lost more than a pound this week. I really have to keep going and stop making excuses. As I've said, I'm more than halfway to my goal, and I just can't stop now. Hopefully, I'm only going through a short rough patch that will clear up soon.
