Weigh in time: this morning I weighed 115 lbs, which means I’m 2 lbs down since starting this experiment! I had been gaining prior to this (hooray for whacked out hormones), so it took me about 2 weeks to change directions from gaining to starting to lose. That may be a long time course for some,ย but I’m really happy with these results given I haven’t been hungry or restricting my intake at all!
I imagine some of it is water weight from eating less sodium, but hopefully things keep moving in the right direction.
This morning I couldn’t finish my veggie hash because I was too full. Intuitive eating is really working: now both my hunger and fullness signals are back in action! I also had a potluck at night at my advisor’s house, and didn’t overeat there either… potlucks are usually pretty tough for me, so that was definitely a good sign.
