Allo, Allo!?

So I haven't posted in a while- don't kill me!  I've still been logging calories, just been uber-focused on work and home and haven't had time to go online and type.  Now... I have no work to do!  Literally.  I don't exaggerate.  Hense, my post here today.

Finally- FINALLY- I got my period!  Woo Hoo!  So happy!  Actually, I got my period on Monday night, not a moment too soon! 

It's actually funny.  Monday night, I came home from work and could not.  stop.  eating.  Literally- I wasn't even hungry, but I chouldn't seem to cram enough chocolate ice cream in my face.  I also at McDonalds for the first time in a while.  I didn't even just 'indulge'- I flat-out BINGED.  To the tune of about 2500 calories for the day.  Yes, it's okay to face-palm, I did.  Afterwards, in a completely stuffed and salt-filled stupor I asked myself 'What the hell just happened?' 

Within an hour, my period arrived.

Okay, when I said it's 'actually funny', this is what I meant:  Last month, the very exact same thing happened.  I had this UNCONTROLLABLE URGE to binge.  Stuffed my body with garbage.  And within hours, my period arrived. 

Now, I can't remember if this is something I do EVERY time I get my period because, to be honest, I went almost two years without having one and I just can't quite recall.  Definitely an odd coincidence that I would behave the exact same way two months in a row, within hours of getting my period.

Like I have been saying all along, though, my period came with a major dip in weight DESPITE my huge junkfood binge.  I've been eating well since then (well, okay.  I've had chocolate two nights in a row, but I've stayed within my calorie range!) and when I weighed myself today, I had a pleasant little surprise: I was at 142.8 pounds!  Nice.  That's the first time EVER that that scale has gone below 143. 

(Note: For those who also track my weight loss at MFP.com, you might notice a discrepancy.  THERE, my weight is logged as 141.1 pounds.  The reason for this is that I started with MFP around the same time I got my WiiFit.  So the weight I log THERE is the weight that my WiiFit gives me.  I have to keep logging from my Wii scale in the name of consistancy, to be able to accurately track what I've lost.  When I started this blog, however, I weighed myself using my bathroom scale- so when I track my weight lost for the week, I'm using the measurements from THAT scale, again in the name of consistancy.  The overall loss will be the same from week to week, regardless of the scale I use.  But if I were to put my weight here at 141.1lbs, it would suggest I lost more than I did, and I don't want to seem deceptive.)

Anyways, since last week I've lost about 1.2 pounds, 5.6 pounds altogether since the end of March.  Not too bad.  It's taking a lot longer to lose this weight than in the past (In January alone, I lost about seven pounds!) but it's just a fact that the less you have to lose, the more your body resists letting you lose it.  According to my MFP tracker, I'm about 6.1 pounds away from my (first) target weight.  I'm so close I can taste it!!!!
