At my weekly weigh ins, I haven't has a substantial weight gain in almost two months. I did have a two week plateau (with a minimal gain), but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm looking at my weekly weight loss graph and noticing that I've never gone more than five weeks without a substantial gain (over 2.5 pounds) or at least a plateau. I've had really substantial losses the past five weeks. So am I now jinxed? Am I doomed to have a big gain this week?
No, of course not. But I do know that my weight loss will not be steady and consistent. That's ok, because a slow or rough patch is not going to derail me. I know what I need to do, and even if I don't do it 100%, 24/7.
It's hard sometimes, of course. I have another chart that predicts what my weight could be going forward, if I lose between .75% and 1.5% of my current body weight per week. What? I like charts. Shut up. So when I do gain, and have to adjust those numbers, it's annoying.
So although I hope I maintain my losing streak (that's kind of a weird way of thinking about it, isn't it?), even if I do have a gain next week, I know I'll keep pushing through and eventually I'll get there.
Songs I can't believe I forgot about that will really get me moving when I walk: Chains of Love, Oh L'amour, and A Little Respect, all by Erasure, of course.
