Ok, I lost all my weight three years ago this summer. For over three years I have been bragging about how easy this whole journey was. Getting a little cocky about everything being perfect.
I think my honeymoon period lasted over three years. I easily lost all my weight and easily kept it off. While I was following the rules most of the time, I wasn't that careful, and weighed the exact same weight EVERY DAY, day after day. Kept in my normal BMI range without even trying. (OK, I love to exercise, but not track food.)
Now all of a sudden I have been gaining and losing the same 5 extra pounds for months. (Today I'm up 3.) It's probably because I had to stop exercising for 2 months after a broken neck. But it's still odd, as I am very careful about my eating. Or maybe exercise is especially important in this life-long journey. Things are crazy with the end of the school year, and with PT I'm not able to walk as much as I should. But school and PT are over May 25th, so I'll be ready to get back on track. Gym for yoga and weights, and my woods for hikes. I am still not permitted to run, maybe those 3 mile daily runs are what I'm missing.
I seriously thought after 3 1/2 years I had this down and would never have to worry about my weight again. WRONG.
