Lessons learned:
Oh, was it time for our monthly weight-gain again? It sure appears so. I had a horrible week with lots of stress – countless hours of overtime at work, lack of rest, health not being really healthy, etc., etc. All in all’s been… well, not horrible, but still really, really annoying. Stressful. And when I’m stressed I eat. Alot. It’s not healthy and it’s completly contrary of the natural stress reaction1, but damnit, it helps me COPE.
It all goes straight to the hips though. Which means the damn five kilo mark eluded me AGAIN.
Doh.
I’m beginning to see a pattern here. There’s at least week per month were I’ll add weight, two during which I lose some and one were the whole thing stagnates. If that’s true, it’s good I got the “add weight” for this month done. ;) Which means it’s now time to pick myself up again, asses which habbits went belly up in the stress-bath last week and need to picked up again; which changes I have to do to make my routines more stable – and be happy that last week wasn’t half as bad as I initially expected.
It appears the trick to losing weight is just to start over and over and over again, while trying to learn from the previous encounters.
…
Shit. Life’s a raidboss. XD
Footnotes:
- Stress supresses appetite in healthy mammals. I wish it would do so in me, but I’ve unfortionally learned to eat more instead. Damn mallable instincts. ↩
