This time silence does mean I've fallen off the wagon. I've stopped calorie counting, which has made the biggest difference in my weight-loss efforts (see my weight graph). The reason behind that is that I get super obsessive about making sure I have the right amounts and the right weights that I have to search out the correct food label for everything and account for every little bit of stuff added to a recipe. The hardest part (and the one that bothers me the most) is figuring out how many calories and nutrients are in a bowl of my mom's soup, since I don't actually eat all the veggies that I cook with, and I have no idea how calorific my home-made chicken stock really is. And that drives me nuts!
So my attitude of all-or-nothing makes me want to quit doing it altogether. I know approximations are better than not counting at all, but I also know that they're not very accurate (hence the term). Thus I can't be sure if I'm actually eating the right amount. And then I can't compare my calories in to calories out. And then this whole weight-loss process becomes as big of a mystery as it always used to be.
I have no closing/comforting words to end this post, except to think that I'm going to have to start calorie counting if I want this weight to come off. Ugh. I'll start tomorrow ;)
