It’s been a while since my last entry. The week I spent back home in CA wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The stress I felt actually worked in my favor…sort of. I didn’t have much of an appetite so I ended up just picking at my food instead of eating full meals. Well, long story short I ended up losing 2lbs that week! I guess stress isn’t all that bad. How did stress work in my favor? I slowed down while I ate and actually listened to my body when I was satisfied and stopped eating. I just didn’t have the appetite to eat everything on my plate and really paid attention to my hunger signals. I’ve been home for almost 2 weeks and still paying attention to my hunger signals. Not bad!

My new size 10 pants are already getting loose and my energy level is on the rise. I’d say the week in CA was a success. Though I don’t condone living a life in mental anguish, I did learn a lot from slowing down and listening to my body. 🙂
