Like 200 ckal less a day.
And I don't know if you tried that, but plot your weight and plot a running average. It reduced for me emotional attachment to a pound more or less.
Thanks for the feedback lapka, it's always appreciated.
I do plot my weight, I actually have a graph since 2000. I'm not terribly upset about the weigh-in and I did have a huge meal and dessert Wednesday night so I'm sure that's a big part of it.
It's been an annoying last 7 days. I hydroplaned and crashed into the center cement barrier going 65 mph on the highway last Friday. Fortunately I escaped with basically just bumps and bruises, although my car wasn't so lucky. I really was fortunate to not get hurt worse or collide with anyone else, but I'm having trouble embracing that and have just been frustrated dealing with insurance and all that BS while also going through a hectic time at work.
Right after the accident I remember wondering if this would turn into some kind of defining moment for me since I escaped relatively unscathed from a situation others have died from or have suffered life changing injuries, But it really hasn't affected me at all, which has left me wondering why, and disappointed in myself since so many others weren't as fortunate.
