I've looked really hard at my eating habits lately. I've been "stuck" lately, because I'm not substantially consuming fewer calories than I'm burning. I'm more or less on plan with Weight Watchers points, but not by much.
I'm actually pretty good at maintaining weight, just not losing it. I generally make good choices, or "good enough" choices, so I can sit in that idle spot. To continue past this plateau, I need to substantially exercise (maybe I need to take up tennis ;)) and reduce consumption.
I just don't feel up to making that adjustment right now, and make it permanent. Wholesale lifestyle change is the hardest thing to do, especially when you've got so many other things on your mind. I realize that's what life is, so if I can fault myself for anything, it's just not managing it optimally.
The good thing is that I'm OK with it for now. As long as I don't slip into the binge eating and soda drinking at work, I'm sure I can maintain. I've doubled or tripled the fiber content of my diet in the last year, so I'm not without little victories. In that sense, I'm not really taking a break from dieting as much as I'm doing what I've been doing, only now I'm not going to torment myself for not doing more.
Being sexy is hard work.
