It's a plot, Ten Years -- I tell you, it's just another part of the enemy's evil plan! See, those nasty fat critters can tell when we get too dependent on the numbers of the scale and then they start playing with our heads. They WANT you to be discouraged and confused and to wander off plan as a result. They don't want to end up homeless!
But you are simply too smart for them. Your clothes ARE fitting differently! You DO feel better and have more energy! You ARE standing taller because you have decisively taken charge of your body and your life! The signs are all there that the hard work you do each and every day is paying off, each and every day. Ignore the confusion and little voice of doubt --- those didn't come from
you; it came from
them!
And whether it is more muscle or holding on to some water or whatever, it DOESN'T MATTER. Physics and biology will NOT be denied! You keep working it and those pounds WILL go away. Bye, bye, bye.
So stand up tall, throw your shoulders back, put on your most devasting smile and walk -- no, STRUT -- past those nasty little critters. Their days are numbered and right now, those are the only numbers you have to worry about.
