When I started this website/blog I wrote in it every day. It seemed to confirm or solidify my goal each day to eat one meal a day. After about 4 months life just kind of got in the way. I continue to lose weight, I still love this WAY OF EATING (WOE). I still eat one meal a day – occasionally twice a day depending on circumstances. I continue to ride my bike and walk. But I am a firm believer of all the studies – weight loss is 80% food and 20% other things (activities). So I go in to 2021 very thankful for finding Amanda Rose’s Eat Like a Bear Facebook/website. I hope to get back to writing daily or at least weekly with pictures of my food.
For my age, 64, and weight journey it has been the answer I needed. I love reading all the positive posts and questions on the Facebook page – very motivating. I personally have not lost weight as fast as a lot of the folks – but I am very happy with my weight loss. It has been just over 7 months and I have lost around 45 pounds. BUT the non-scale victories (NSV) are amazing:
- more energy
- not thinking about food all the time
- very empowering
- didn’t know I had that small of underwear in my drawer (and they fit)
- satisfaction/proud
- no longer a bathtub “dam” – water goes around me
- towel wraps around me
- Don’t worry about breaking a chair
- I keep going smaller in clothes, which is awesome
those are just off the top of my head – every day I see positive NSV!
