this week i hit my first plateau.
and it sucked.
a full week and not one pound lost.
not one.
how is this possible?
i used to eat and entire large pepperoni pizza on my own
and now i am eating less than 500 calories each day and
i lost nothing? nothing?
i held out all week, telling myself it would be fine
and not to worry about it,
but yesterday i cried.
it's hard to go through this much work,
emotionally and physically,
and not see the number on the scale drop.
my mind is filled with awful thoughts:
- what if this is it? i lose nothing more than this first 40 pounds?
- what if I fail at this?
- what if I stay fat forever?
WEIGHT LOSS TO DATE: 40 LBS...still.
UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH. It just doesn't make sense! I feel for you, Betty.
ReplyDeletePlateaus suck, but they do pass. Sometimes your body needs an adjustment period to handle all the changes and then you start dropping again. I know for me, any tiny little carb stops the whole process. It is really frustrating but my little body does not like them even though my mouth does.
