Well another day of doom. I weighed in again today and ONLY lost 1 pound. That makes ONLY 1.5 pounds over 2 weeks. I told a friend of mine that I might cry. She then very kindly reminded me of this….”And I know this won't help, but at least you are still loosing, not gaining....”
I should be happy at a 1 pound loss….shouldn’t I? Then why am I beating myself up over this? Probably because I feel like I am working and working and working to lose this weight and suddenly I am not being successful. But then I guess I should stop and look at it, realize that I am being successful because I am still losing even if just in small amounts. I suppose that ANY loss is better than a gain!
Now I suppose I should share the positive….I seem to have lost another inch on my waist. This bringing that total up to 9” lost! I think that should make me VERY happy!
I am quite positive that I am not going to be able to reach my 2nd 10% loss by June 1st like I had hoped. This would have meant that it is taking about 2 months to lose 10%. This time I was supposed to lose 22lbs. To this point I have lost 11.5. Pretty sure I WON'T make another 10. Bummer! Oh well I guess as long as I keep losing!
Wish me luck for the next week.....I am going to need it!
