giving it up! letting it go
I had a very difficult time losing anything in October and my body just would not give it up. I had lost 73 lbs up to that point and was averaging 12 lbs a month when I hit this stall . I lost absolutely nothing. I racked my brain over what I was doing different than previous months. I even mentioned on here about our set points and how our bodies get comfortable with a certain weight. After posting that I realized that I had not been below 211 in 30 years. It was 30 years ago that I ended up with severe pancreatitis and ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks. When I returned home I put on 40 lbs in 3 months. I never lost that 40 lbs and my body has always had a really hard time letting go of all that. I am happy to say that after 30 years and that 1 month stall I am finally down another 2 lbs. Our bodies are so complicated and our physical body is so connected to our emotions. I lost a baby just before the pancreatitis so I honestly believe there were a lot of emotions tied in to all of that.Its such a liberating feeling to finally move forward.
