Weight Loss report # 5 181 pounds.
This doesn't seem like good news since it's a gain of two pounds instead of a loss.
I'm suffering from two weekends of backsliding. But the important thing is not to focus on the bad but to figure out what has to be done to get back to a positive outcome.
I'm still down four pounds from the start and I'm not going to try to starve those extra two pounds off. That would only lead to another relapse. I'm pretty sure that returning to my diet schedule instead of trying to make up for the lapse will be the most effective in the long run.
So today's watchword/slogan is - GET BACK ON THE HORSE (your regular schedule of dieting. You know what they say if you fall off a horse? Get back on the horse - and keep riding. That's what I'm going to do.

Weight Loss Report - 4 - the Brown Bag Diet - 179 pounds
Weight Loss Report - 4 - the Brown Bag Diet - 179 pounds
The weight is still coming off - but slowly. I'm pleased that I've lost 6 pounds but it seems painfully slow. But then again it is 6 real pounds that have stayed off since Feb. 4th. That's not a weekend of crash dieting only to return to the original weight or more.
So what is the lesson here? I think the lesson is a well used adage that, "Slow and steady wins the race" or "The slower it comes off the longer it stays off".
So let's remember that this lesson's wathchword is, Slow & Steady.

Weight Loss Report -3- the Brown Bag Diet
Weight Loss Report - 3 - the Brown Bag Diet - 180 pounds
Things are slowing down a bit. I had a two pound loss from Feb. 12Th but considering I began at 185 pounds I'm satisfied with my 5 pound loss to date.
Our last watchword was "PORTION CONTROL". That is so important. And so is the next. Remember we started with "PLAN AHEAD". Now we add the watchword, "Eat by the Clock".
When you plan your eating for the day decide when you will eat each meal. If you decide that 12:30 to 1:00 PM is lunchtime don't start cheating by snacking at 12:15. It's a lot easier to refrain from silly eating habits when you know exactly what time your next meal is scheduled.
So keep this watchword handy. It will help you get through the day without breaking down and spoiling your diet plans.
Any questions? Write me, Erwin Posner, at BrownBagDiet@gmail .com
