In 1.6oz I will weigh 200lbs! (200.9 but I'll be claiming it!). That will signal 3 stone (42lbs) lost from the all time high and I'll be holding the very door-handle of onederland. woohoo! there's motivation to stick with it today!
I was so sure today would be the day. I ate sensibly (have done for 2 months straight), I ate healthily, I felt like I was getting thinner, the bathroom told me I was getting lighter, I thought I might actually skip the 200 and hit 199, I felt so good. today I've gone up 4.6 oz. I'm only teasing, before you think I'm completely, insanely obsessive. I mean I have gone up on the scale, and it is by point 3, which I work out at 4.6oz but I'm laughing at myself here, honestly.
It's always the same with targets, isn't it? The nearer we get, the harder it seems. When we're not that focussed, they just happen. I mean, I wish 202 had been a major target, because I didn't even See that on the scale!
And I've lost 1.8lbs this week, which isn't bad, given that 2 or 3 days were spent flat out being poorly, no exercise, almost no activity at all. And I guess this means I'm consolidating the loss that food poisoning gave me.
Still wish I'd hit onederland. meh meh meh meh meh.
You WILL hit onederland. You will. Just your body might have a different time frame then you do. Keep on plugging away. Keep on making the right choices. Stick with your plan. NO MATTER WHAT. The weight WILL come off.
You MUST remember losing weight is NOT an immediate gratification type thing.
Be proud of yourself for staying on plan yet another day and another day and yet another day. Yes, for it to show up on the scale would be wonderful, but staying on your plan is a huge victory and you should enjoy it and be proud of it, in and of itself. Take joy from *just* that. I know every single night when I go to bed having stayed on plan, I am very pleased with myself and I feel very - satisfied. THAT is my *immediate gratification*.
It'll come. The weight LOSS will come. And so will ONEderland and then the 180's will be yours, and you stick with it, and those 170's will be yours and on and on and on.
