Oh I am REALLY excited and happy today! I've been so persistent on my diet. All through January I didn't cheat. All through February I stuck to it although I had 3 days when I ate a little off plan in February. That made my scale go backwards and I paid for it in the bouncing all over the place scale!
But I got back on plan and stayed on the rest of the month. But it was a frustrating month. All month long in February the scale refused to budge. In all I lost 4 pounds in Feb. 2 of which kept showing back up on the scale!
I thought my diet plan had stopped working for me. I thought I was in starvation mode, or hit a plateau, or wasn't going to be able to lose the rest of this weight.
I had hit like 3 or 4 of my goals in January, and then the last of them I had like one or two pounds left to lose so that goal hung around until February. I lost that little bit and hit my last January goal, and so then set a 3 pound goal for February. ALL month I worked for that 3 pounds. I got within ONE pound of making that goal, and then I started going backwards.
BUT my sucess is that I hung in there. I kept on sticking to plan no matter what! Today I was finally rewarded for all that persistence...
In ONE day I had a BIG Whoosh that put me down 2 goals! I set baby goals of no more than 4 or 3 pounds at a time. With losing 3.5 pounds in one day I not only made the goal I strived for so long in February, but the next one too!
So I've lost 10 pounds since Jan 16th. Even though it looked like nothing was happening in February, I guess the fat was still coming off. Hanging in there long enough helped me to finally see it!
