Why do the stalls always happen right before a milestone??
I suppose you can call this a mini (mostly) light hearted rant.
I have stated before that our bodies conspire against us. I am beginning to think that its not just a conspiracy, its pure evil!
I have been relatively lucky with a steady weight loss during my 7 months of work, but on those few occasions when I have stalled, or gone up a few pounds it has ALWAYS been right before some goal or milestone I had set for myself. My first stall was at 170.4 pounds. I was there for a bit over a week. I know, its not that long, but had it happened at 176 it would not have had near the emotional impact that it had just before that new decade. Next one was at 150. Again..hitting that 140 decade was a huge one for me, and my body decided that it was going to make me suffer for it. And now, here I sit, 1 pound shy of my 60 pound loss, and the last week my weight has been all over the board. Down .4, up .8, down .2, up .6..its been crazy. Oh, I know this is normal and I am not discouraged, nor ready to have a tub of ben and jerry's or anything like that..I just makes me glare at my scale and go WTF??!!
Someone, somewhere has a very mean sense of humor.
