summary for week six on raw lifestyle
So did I end up losing any weight this week?
Date: 2/19/2006 12:31:09 PM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 1468 times This week was a strange one, gaining and losing a couple of
pounds there in the middle and ending up the same as last week. But
it's only strange when comparing it to my previous weeks on Raw- not in
comparison to my history of weight loss. Indeed, the previous few
weeks on Raw have been the strangest weeks of my life! In the past
when I've lost weight I've lost the largest amount on the first week,
and then I gradually settle down to about 2 lbs a week. Losing 10 or
12 lbs in a month was a good thing! So losing 32 lbs in less than 2
months on Raw is extraordinary for me.
Why didn't I lose anything this week? Whenever this happens to
dieters there are scores of reasons given: "you didn't drink enough
water", "your body is adjusting", "you ate too much fat" "you didn't
eat enough" "you ate too much." Well, it's too soon to look back and
see what might have been the cause, if one is ever able to be
discerned. I'm not going to make adjustments to my diet based on one
week of not losing anything. First of all, 32 lbs!!!! Second of all,
weight is not the only indicator of improving health; my headaches have
disappeared, today I can zip up a pair of pants that I could barely get
around me on January 1st, and I haven't had that pain on the sides of
my tongue since last year. Good health encompasses all body parts (and your mental health, too!)
SUMMARY
This week was a bust as far as weight loss. It was good as far as the
increased variety I've introduced into my menu, and my ability to stay
raw despite barbecues and all sorts of treats in the house. I have
proven that these days, old temptations tempt me no longer. I haven't
done a single thing that I regret so far. Yaaay!!
