Am I a yo yo dieter? It seems like it at times.

Several times my weight has crept up to nearly 130 pounds; and considering my small frame and lack of height, that\’s way too much. Now that I\’m working to keep prediabetes at bay, weight control is even more important.

I\’ve found that, when I put my mind to it, I lose weight fairly easily. Unfortunately I also seem to gain it back quite easily! Hence my asking whether I\’m a yo yo dieter.

This past April, my weight had dropped to 102-103 pounds. By that point, meal-planning burnout had set it; and for a month or two I was too careless about my diet. I gained back several pounds; and saw that I needed to get back on track.

Enter Hurricane Ida. That really threw things off; and when I got back home my weight had climbed back to 110.5. Not long afterwards, my A1c levels were checked; and they had skyrocketed to 6.6!

I went back to work at my diet; and now my weight is hanging around 103-105 pounds. That\’s just about right; and I hope I can keep that yo yo from going back the other way!

It\’s hard, though, as anyone knows who has worked at losing weight. By all accounts, keeping weight off is even harder than losing it; and that sure seems to be true. My sweet tooth is no help; and it was much easier to keep to a proper eating plan when I was doing work-from-home. I sure do miss that!
