LOL, I had an angry panda image that I really like and was planning on using so I chose this username. But then I couldn't find it on my computer or google, so I had to settle for a different angry panda. So.... both?

Good work sticking to the military diet - it looks very healthy!

Hmm, ok, so I've been slacking off on my diet and exercise due to work and stress. I mean, I know that less exercise and more food is not gonna make the stress go away but I was losing motivation. While military diet was healthy, it wasn't food I usually eat so as soon as I went back to the food I usually eat, it was very difficult keeping the weight off. I ended up losing only 3lbs last month so I was 163lbs at start of the month.
Part of the reason is that I was 160lbs for...oh, almost 7 years, so eventho ideally I should be at 140lbs, as soon as I reach 160lbs my brain automatically think I'm almost done, this is good enough. It's my "comfort weight". The one time I was at 156lbs I stared at the scale and felt kind of weird and my weight went back to 160lbs soon. *sigh* losing weight isn't as much a physical battle as it is a mental battle with myself for me. A battle between what's "comfortable"/good enough for me, verses what's the healthiest/best for me. Why wouldn't I want to be the best and healthiest version of me? I don't know, maybe if I keep at it and get to my goal, then I'll know?
Anyways, I'm 161lbs currently, so I lost 2lbs this week by reducing my portions, no food switch. I hope to keep it up. Even if I don't get to 150lbs, at least get to 155lbs and keep at it. That's my goal for now.
