Well, I’m going to consider this my first plateau and hopefully it will be the only one for a long time. At first I lost 15 lbs, then I gained 3 lbs back, then I gained another 5 lbs, and then I lost 5 lbs again. So… It’s been a bumpy start. It’s really disheartening, and the longer it does this the more it makes me want to just give up on it all.
But, then I stop and look at how much better I feel and how much my attitude has changed; and the differences that’s having on people around me. That’s ultimately what’s keeping me from binging and eating everything in sight. I have to stop and think about WHY I’m doing this and that no matter how tuff or discouraging it can get; it HAS to be done.
I would have to say that if I still haven’t lost anymore weight within the next week I’m going to have to cut back on my eating. I’ve already cut it back considerably. And, I’ve also added exercise back into my daily life. I’m still contributing the extra weight to the conversion of fat into muscle (especially in my legs). But, when another week passes and I still haven’t lost weight…it’s really going to be difficult for me to understand; let alone cope with. It will boil down to me eating less (or exercising a hell of a lot more) and hoping that I don’t go into starvation mode and eventually get back into my bad habits. What I’ve read recently is that the sudden changes are what usually pushes people back into the wrong direction.
This is the proverbial place between a rock and a hard place.
