Well, I'm back. This past month has brought many new things including six additional pounds that I lost over a few months ago. Since I reached my weight goal, I switched cities, jobs and, for that matter industries. I'm not back to where I was originally, but I figured it would be good to get things in check before all that effort is lost.
I think the weight gain mostly came down to two factors. This past month I've found I've been eating a lot out of stress. Also, while I am a big proponent of the Dukan diet, I find that after restricting yourself to certain 'safe' food groups, it's extremely difficult to limit portion size when a 'free' meal comes around. I admit, I have been going a little overboard on these meals. It's relatively easy to cut something completely out of your diet; to eat a limited quantity is a real challenge, at least for me.
So, I've come to a couple of decisions, and to prevent another such weight gain, I'm going to make a couple of strategic changes. For one thing, I plan to incorporate a limited amount of sugar and carbohydrates in my diet. This way I will not feel so deprived of these foods that I go overboard when eating a special meal. I will also eat less fake sugar products. I will stick to the basic principles of the Dukan diet, but allow myself unlimited fruit (within reason, of course). I will make more of an effort to exercise.
Most of all, I hope to achieve a sense of balance so that I'm not constantly striving to take weight off. Hopefully, with those goals in mind, I can get back to where I was and settle into a more effective routine.
