2012.11.20Atkins: 216.0 Again!

When I hit 216.0 about a week and a half ago, I had done it by skipping dinner. I recall I was so angry with kiddo that I didn’t bother to eat. I paid hard for it the following day, though, feeling a little drained. I took the afternoon off as sick time and crashed for about three hours.

This time, it’s different — I ate last night until I was sated, and stayed busy all evening. I was moving until I went to bed, but didn’t feel hungry through the evening. I'm sure I could have eaten had I wanted to. (In fact, kiddo's in a growth spurt — she polished off my last burrito! Yay for her trying and liking new things!)

I also notice that as I tighten my belt lately, my dress trousers start to take on that baggy look — like the waistband is larger than the belt, so that little bit of the trousers that are above the belt appear cinched like a drawstring bag (it’s really easy to see, too, when your dark trousers are lined with off-white cloth). For as dumb as that looks, the thought excites me, because I’m maintaining this weight but my body is reshaping… hopefully for the better!!
