Finally!

Weighed myself this morning and I'm finally back down to pre-California weight.  It only took 3 weeks!  I must have more self restrain when I go home.  Well, I did also pig out when I went to NJ so that didn't help.  It's still on the high end of my "normal" weight, but it's better than the numbers I've been seeing for the past 3 weeks.

But what is a normal number?  In my mind, I would think normal would be a steady state number where the conditions would be: 1. you are what you wanted, 2. exercised as much as you wanted, not how much you needed to.  It should be were your body naturally settles in an effortless life (i.e. not withholding food and not forcing yourself to run a million miles or hit the gym 7 days a week).  I think if everyone followed that, then a lot more of the population would be overweight or obese.  I definitely would be.  I love food too much. It's too bad that I've also fallen into the trap of the perfect female body.

*sigh*  I should just be happy I'm back to where I am, but it's still takes a lot to maintain that.  Almost too much sometimes.  I can see how people develop eating disorders if they aren't careful when trying to attain or maintain an "ideal" weight.
