I made Chicken Chow Mein two night ago and used my usual GENEROUS doucing of soy sauce. I *knew* the sodium was through the roof and I *knew* it would cause water retention. I told myself I'm not worried about water weight, my focus is FAT loss.
Fast forward two mornings later and the scale is still up two pounds. I've eaten clean, so I know I haven't gained fat. Still, I'm finding those two pounds are acting like a dark cloud hanging over my head.
How do you not let scale fluctuations get you down? I manged to get through the TOM fluctuations by just grinning and bearing the stall. This time I'm not doing so well. It seems I struggle more with the MENTAL part of weightloss than the actual physical part, and the MENTAL part is exhausting me.
So many of you have been WILDLY successful at weightloss and you are such an inspiration to me. Surely, you had to overcome the mental part to achieve your success. Please share your wisdom.
Thanks.
