I've been obsessing with my psychotic scales from hell. I subject
myself to the agony of weighing myself every time I went to the
bathroom. Yes I truly believe I am Obsessive/Compulsive (but that's
another story ... but hey, my closets & dresser drawers DO look nice).
LOL

My psychotic scales from hell would show me one weight for a few hourly
weigh-ins then mid-day it showed me 2 or 3 lbs. more. Can you imagine
the agony of defeat after the elation of a few hours earlier?

Anyway, I noticed a few days ago that for 3 days it has been pretty consistent and ......... drum roll here please:

I have lost 5 lbs. Yippee!

I haven't made it back to induction per se and kind of figured I was on OWL but consuming less carbs, not drinking enough water and only getting in "some" exercise so I have no idea what phase I'm in.

If y'all remember, I had lost a bunch of weight last autumn due to near
starvation from illness. When I finally was able to eat my body gained
back the exact amount that I lost and stayed there. I was thinking that
I should wait until my body was satisfied that I wasn't going to do that
to it again before I made any changes that would allow me to loose
weight. I felt my body would in self defense, hang on to everything
fearing I was going to starve it again.

Well enough time had passed that I felt safe in attempting another go at
LC. I had for the past six months or more been pretty much eating LC
(no rice, potatoes, limited pasta, bread, etc.). If I ate any of the
no-no's it was in small portions and seldom. I think LC was ingrained
in me from my early days of induction (July/2000) and have tried to eat
LC for the most part, not counting, just eating LC in general with the
odd forays into the forbidden land.

Anyway just wanted to share my joy with y'all about my 5 lb. weight
loss. How do you spell ecstatic?
