Back to Basics and weight is peeling off!

[OzRoo 1,492]

Today my weight dropped to 75kg (165 Ibs). I was told that at 74kg (162.8 Ibs) I'd be a success.

I am now 10kg (22 Ibs) away from my goal weight, and 15kg (33 Ibs) away from my stretch goal of 60kg (132 Ibs).

It is amazing to see how sugar caused few stalls, and even a little gain in the past.

Since I stopped eating ice-cream and frozen yoghurt, and sticking to the food plan, suddenly my weight is peeling off again.

It is like my body can't process sugar and stores it as fat instead.

So, I have to be mindful constantly of what I put in my mouth.

The sugar and its bad effects will never change. If I eat sugary food, I put on weight, if I don't eat it, I lose weight.

So this will be lifelong process for me ....

Happy to say though that melons and frozen berries satisfy my sugar cravings after dinner, and are a much healthier substitute.

Funny, I never used to eat much of rock melon or honey dew, now I love them

It is good to see the scales moving down again!

I swapped ice-cream for frozen yoghurt because I thought it was healthier and lower in calories ..... alas what started with a small serving of frozen yoghurt became larger and larger servings. It was emotional eating for me, as I had lot of stress recently, so I felt I needed a reward..... Thankfully I realised what I was doing, and went back on track, back to basics.

Basics work for me, and I have to be mindful of the Sugar Demon!

That's amazing I'm glad you found what works for you. I think a lot of us can relate to the sugar cravings but once you kick the habit you're good.

I think the sugar cravings/addiction will always lurk in the background, so I have to be mindful of it, one day at a time.

Emotional/stressful times can make it worse for me, however I now experienced that the reset back to basics works.

And melons with berries are now my best friends
