Panic!

 This is normal, I know this but seem to panicking anyway.  Completely changed my thinking and lifestyle on April 2nd. In the first 3 weeks I have lost 15 lbs and am very proud of myself. This 4th week the scale has not been moving so Saturday I increased my calorie intake but dropped again today. My food tracker indicates I am still 6000 calories below my weekly limit (already set for a 2 lb loss per week). I am pretty sure I will post a gain at weigh in tomorrow. 

I think the panic is because the last month has been AWESOME and for the first time in my life I'm not looking for a cheat day or closet eating. I am afraid that I will resort to my old ways and give up. I have no plans to do that but you know that nasty nasty self talk that says you'll never succeed?  I can hear its far away echo. 

So I am posting to say... Screw you nasty self talk!  I can and am doing this because no matter what the world has told me over the last 30 years I AM worth it. My body just needs to readjust to being 15 lbs lighter first.

Onward and DOWNward!

Thanks for letting me say this 'out loud'

You can do it.  I have not had my sleeve done yet, but I am sure from all the reading I have been doing you will have stalls.  We will have head hunger, but I know with the all the people on here that we are travelling the same road and we can make together.  You will make it and yes you are more than worth it, you are everything. 

Get it all out and get it straightened out as best you can. This is a constantly changing thing, life..and sometimes we rock at it and sometimes we fall flat on our faces. We "simply" have to get up and keep trying instead of letting ourselves get away with giving up.


Seems to me you know what to do and you are doing it!! Keep at it and you will do AWESOME!!!

Thanks Ladies!

I did gain .8 but I'm moving forward.  I just want to come off the wait list!  One goal at a time.

Good for you. You are doing so well and have plenty of determination.

All the best!
