I've gained a ton of weight :( blech. I'm so mad. The thing with my body is that when a normal person (without underlying thyroid, pcos, etc issues) cheats on their diet occasionally they are usually fine. I convinced myself that since Virgil's Root Beer is made with pure cane sugar, nutmeg, etc and that it is all-natural that it was ok to drink one a day. STUPID. LOL. So probably for the last month or two I've had them consistently a few times a week. Then we discovered non-alcohol butterscotch beer soda (aka butterbeer). Oh em gee. These 2 things were my downfall. I also convinced myself that a chocolate bar that was made with fair-trade cocoa and all natural ingredients was ok. STUPID. None of these things are Paleo anyhow. I told myself that because they are 'real' food (aka no chemicals etc) that it was ok. STUPID STUPID STUPID. My body does not tolerate sugars well. Keith has eaten all these things PLUS more and he's still at the same darn weight. Me? Well...yeah. I'm back up to 185lbs :( I also have not been drinking as much water as I should. As of this morning I upped my water intake and already back down to 182.4lbs...but from someone who had lost almost 25lbs...I'm kind of ashamed :( I was from 194 lbs down to 171 lbs so 23 lbs. We will go with the weight I was this morning which means I've gained 11 lbs and/or only lost 11 lbs.
Yup so while I didn't necessarily stop being 'healthy' in regards to fast food or not making my own food etc, I did fall off the good choices wagon. It's pretty easy to do.
So- if you're with me and I do not eat out with you or will not eat your food, please do not take offense to this. Please do not think I think my choices are better than yours. It simply means I need to do what is best for myself and my body. Keith will eat anything, but as I've been discovering, my body reacts VERY differently to foods than his does. I get sick and gain weight from eating dyes, refined sugars, sugar in general, gluten, etc. I need to stick to meats, veggies, occasional fruit...and water lol
