You’re never likely to go back to your old ways of eating after being so mindful for so long. Relaxing a bit is fine if that’s how you feel better.Good morning everyone at not quite as stupid o'clock, but close.
BG 5.0 which is fine.
Silly question time.
I have fought hard, aimed squarely, not budged an inch from my set goals, focussed totally and directly on the one direction, for a year now. Got my weight down to 55.5Kg, D into unofficial remission, feel fit and well. All good....
But, I ended up looking gaunt, old, tired.
So I changed tack a few days ago and ate more, put on weight up to 56Kg and now look a lot better. Not gaunt. BG still spot on. Not as tired too.
So, to the question...is it possible i have 'over done' things and might cause harm rather than good if I were to carry on in the same vein, and is it sensible for me to have changed my goal from 55.5Kg to 56Kg and now to relax my tight grip slightly. Would that possibly be the start of a slippery road back to D? I am terrified of screwing things up and ending up in a mess, but I do look a lot better right now.
Wife was still very good and well yesterday, even with the real intruder of the unpleasant kitchen fitter. Phew!!!
