Went a little crazy late yesterday and bumped up a little. I rounded up to 155 this morning. The rounding is a nit that is important to me because I am trying to stay under 155 now that I have made it into the low 150s.
It's funny how I play these mental games with myself, but it does help. I am still considering the 150s as my maintenance range but I have 3 lines in the sand now. 155 is a warning and a call to action or to at least be alert about whether it is a reasonable exception or altered general day to day habits pushing me over. I will likely allow myself to cross it for holidays. 160 is my scream weight - red alert calling for extreme action to start trending down even if I am pretty sure it is a spike. I would consider going over 164, giving me a BMI of 25+, a major life event - failure to keep the weight off. Recovering at that point would mean a 10+ pound loss to get back in my preferred zone. I am committed to never let that happen. If I start shrinking and get shorter as I age, I will adjust according to stay below a BMI of 25, with a preferred range of 23 to 23.5.
