Happily pro pointing!
I have been happily bumbling along doing the abstinence thing and you gradually see you 'goal' getting closer, but it is still difficult to know when to stop. When you have so much to lose and have never been that size since you were a teen it is hard to know what it should be.
I have been going by the BMI thing thinking that if I get to BMI 23 then that will be healthy, however I am now thinking that is too low for me.
I tried on a load of size 10 stuff I got in a bundle on ebay and my size 10 next 'guide' jeans I got and it all goes on, some of it quite comfortably and the rest probably needs another half stone or thereabouts.
This to me feels like it is far enough, but it would mean I am at the top end of the BMI and now I have been wondering what to do.
I am thinking I will go on for 2 more weeks, which should give me roughly another half a stone and then go into RTM. This should take me down to about 10.5 stone and a BMI of about 24.5.
In my mind I had intended on getting to 10st, but I really don't think that is going to be healthy for me, especially as you generally still lose in the first few weeks of RTM.
It is a struggle to know what to do. It feels like I am cheating in a way
And then there is that flippin' chatterbox saying 'you should just stop now, you can eat something tonight' not helpful cwhack:
It is also a little bit scary thinking about getting on the next path, I think I am much more likely to fall off that one.
So, I have changed my ticker accordingly and reset my goal and hope I am doing the right thing.
