What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
This makes me want to get one of those tuxedo tee shirts that guys with mullets wear. But I know I would look so stupid, I'd be forced to kick myself in the testicles.

QOTD: HHMMMM I have no idea what I would name a boat, I am really not creative enough! HAHA It would take me a while to think of something. My Dad has a (used) pontoon boat that we just LOVE, it was named the "Play Bouy" HAHAH
So I was REALLY craving chocolate this morning, specifically the damn Girl Scout cookies in my cupboard! So instead I made a nice thick protein shake with water and just half a scoop of powder and LOTS of ice. Extra calories I wasnt expecting to have, but better than cookies!

I didn't have a ton of time this morning, I was going to have a rest day because I am super sore from my workouts the past few days, but I went for a quick 30 minute fast walk anyway
I am having one of those days/weeks where I feel like I will NEVER get to my goal weight. GGGRRRRR 3 months of up, down, up, down are driving me MENTAL!!!
I don't know how to get past this, I just feel so discouraged! I KNOW that I am not perfect with my eating, but it is impossible to be perfect. WHY can't I be perfect??? HAHA
I am just worried mine isn't a stall. I have met and passed my surgeon's goal, I am at the goal my regular doctor has always said would be a good weight for me, I just REALLY want to hit MY goal weight. .... and be at a healthy BMI. I kind of HATE BMI, but that is what the medical community goes by, and damnit I was to be "normal" for once in my life.
So, in short, is my body just done? Or just a stall? Or am I ******g this whole weight loss thing up?
I don't know.
I wish I had the self control to just stop all carbs completely. Yesterday, with the popcorn, I came in at 62g of carbs. I like to keep under 50, but it's not horrible.
I think you'll be able to push through. You're not even a year out and maybe your body is readjusting after the huge loss. Hopefully it will start back up again soon.
