I beat my plateau!

After plateauing at 110-111 for a month, I finally beat it! It’s actually a strange occurrence of events. Last Monday I binged on like 2000 calories, so on Tuesday I weighed 113.0. On Wednesday I weighed 111.2, and I figured I would level out somewhere between 110 and 111 again. Like expected, I weighed 110.4 on Thursday and Friday. Friday night there was a dance (yay cardio!) but I thought I screwed it up by eating a bunch of cashews and fudge-os after. It wasn’t a binge, but I definitely felt stuffed after. I expected to weigh like 112 the next day, but I was actually down to 109.6! Last night I thought I had too many almonds… but then this morning I weighed myself and now I’m at 108.8 pounds! It’s like I’m FINALLY losing the weight I should have lost a long time ago with my ~500 calorie a day deficit. (I don’t know my actual deficit because I don’t count calories anymore).

I’m not sure what made me overcome my plateau. It’s very odd how I’m losing so much weight after when I thought I had screwed myself over on cashews and almonds. Though nuts are nutritious, they’re high on calories. But they make me lose weight… lol what. Definitely don’t mind because if I’m going to overeat something, nuts are MUCH better than chips or cereal. I’m not a firm believer of “eat more and lose more weight”, but it seems to be the case here. Or maybe it’s because I’ve been losing weight all along and just been carrying on so much water weight from all my binges? And thus proving that binges don’t really screw things up in the long run? Hmm…

  6. glamurpuss said: It could also be the fact that you ate a lot of calories, normally the way to beat a plateau is to eat a lot of calories, and then gradually decrease that amount during the week.
  7. sackcloth-and-ashes said: It’s because you’re getting the extra (healthy) calories your body needs without getting too many. Sometimes when you exercise so much, like you do, you need more calories so your body doesn’t hold on to stored fat. So eating a tad more is helping :)
