Swear to heck, people, y'all are posting faster than I can keep up!

Hm.

Well. I have crash space for the weekend - Yay! No 20+ hour day of driving, teaching, feasting, and then driving.

Recently, I've been noticing a certain weight gain. Well, maybe not gain, but clothes are definitely fitting not as loosely as they used to do, so I'm attributing that to gain. I'm really not sure *why* - because since I'm working, I'm actually a. walking more (to and from the bus) and b. eating less, because I'm not sitting around all day just munching. And usually, when I'm at work, I don't eat much. AmyKatherinefillintheblank yells at me about this. Usually we get together and I'm like, "So, FOOD?" And she's like, "Uh...at lunch at 2:00." And I'm like, "Oh. Well, I had a muffin around 10:00."

Well, anyway, due to the inexplicable* redistribution of my shape, I decided to start taking salad to work. Never fails: Today, the first day I did this, there was a lunch delivered, and afterward, there was leftover...salad.

So I've had 2 salads today. And a cookie. And there is more leftover (yummy) salad that I put in the fridge for tomorrow.

How's that, AKfitb? Does that count as really eating during the day?


*My best weight-loss plan has always been stress. Maybe I'm just not stressed enough?

Heh. Stress is my best weight-loss plan, too. I've gotten to the point where my clothes aren't "tight" - they just plain don't fit anymore. I've had to go out and buy new stuff, which SUCKS. I am going to a yoga class TOMORROW, though. I need to lose some of this weight and get back in shape.

(Oh, and I forget to eat during the day, too. Which is possibly part of the problem with my weight; I don't eat all day, and then I pig out on junk food right before bedtime. *facepalm*).

It could be that you're gaining muscle, which could alter how your clothes fit. However, I'd suggest giving your doctor a call anyway. Where do you notice the "weight" going on? A few years ago I had what I thought was stress-related weight gain, all coming on behind the abdominal wall in front, like as if I were pregnant, and it turned out to be a cyst, which led them to find ovarian cancer while it was still in Stage I. So yay! am cured. Am also now on the lookout for folks who mention stuff like what I only learned after the fact was symptomatic of ovarian cancer, which sometimes doesn't present any symptoms at all. It makes me a bit of an alarmist, but hey. :)

Also, yay cookies!
