No movement again. Quelle surprise, non? I even had a dream last night that I stepped on the scale and it jumped up 30 lbs! But the good news is that I put on a pair of shorts today that were a hint squeezy at the start of the month and now they fit OK, so that's nice! My scale has been fighting me tooth and nail, but I'm interested to see what my monthly measurements will be.
Kay: I never thought you were complaining, but rather keeping us updated whether things were going great or were very frustrating. It'd be pretty hypocritical of me to be tired of that because it seems that's ALL I do on here! I may not always have a solution for people's struggles on here (read: basically never), but I can offer support and listen. That's the purpose of this site, at least for me. It's not about always having progress, it's about giving/getting support (even if the support is just a 'man, that sucks!' in commiseration) and having people to talk to about this stuff. So if what you need to do is take a break from this site, then you should do that. But if you're only taking a break because you think you're being a 'Debbie downer,' then I'd urge you to reconsider. I'd rather have you here chatting with us regularly, whether if it's your frustrations or struggles or anything else. We all have frustrations (weight loss is very frustrating), and for me, I'd prefer to share that with others and have them share that with me. But it's up to you.
I found this quote from someone when I was looking through old archived threads. It's helped me somewhat recently so I figured I'd share it. "Have patience. I know it is hard, but even if you feel stalled, things are changing slowly. You'll wake up one day and things will start moving again. I spent about two months at 150. I cheated once during that time... I was so good, but I was just stuck there. My body was happy. Then one day, I started moving again and lost nearly 10 more very quickly."
You can do this, Kay! And I'm glad to have you venting here any day!
