...this too shall pass...promise
I know that EVERYONE has gone through the dreaded stall but I am here to let you all know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am about 4 months out and have had absolutely no complications whatsoever (other than a back ache). I was recently battling with my very first stall and it lasted what seemed like months, but in actuality was the longest 2 1/2 weeks of my life. I am one of those that have the obsession with the numbers on the scale. I know it's a bad thing but I can't help it. The very first thing I do when I get to work is set my things on the desk, turn the coffee pot on and go straight to the scale. But today, I am here to tell you, if you continue with your exercise routines, continue to eat right and take those vitamins .... YOU WILL START LOSING AGAIN!!! Promise!!! I got on the scale today and I am 3 pounds lighter!!! I came so close to becoming my old self and start that "emotional eating" where my thoughts were "Hell, I'm not losing weight anyway. I might as well eat these cheese puffs!" That's the thought pattern that got me into the trouble of obesity in first place and when I realized that, I snapped out of it and went to the gym and did laps in the pool!!! I digress...I just wanted to let you other newbies know that patience must be one of your virtues. I am still learning...Thanks for letting me vent fam!!! Love ya'll and good luck to you all on your journeys.
I agree with you 100%. I just made 4 months last week and I am down 75 lbs, only 25 more to go. Right now I am almost at a hault but that is ok. I am still losing inches and the clothing sizes is in the regular people section. If I don't lose one more pound that is ok however I know that won't happen. I exercise 5x a week and I am always on my feet when I get home.
I will not go to my old ways it is not an option.
