Fear of Success??
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 10:00 am
My no-S journey has taken the long and winding road rather than the straight shot. The first three months I followed the letter of the law, but not necessarily the spirit, and was happy but didn't lose a pound.
Then, I tweeked the plan a bit (ate a bit more fat at breakfast and standardized my lunches to something yummy, hearty and vegetable-rich rather than the fruit and cheese sandwitch of yore) and the weight started to drop. I lost four pounds in two months and was beginning to be able to notice the difference.
But this past week I've had a back slide. I've had 4 failures in the past week. Granted it's "that time of the month," but still...
I find that I need some support to get back on track. I'm 1/4th of the way to my goal and that feels great. But why o why have I backslid so dramatically?? I feel totally out of control. Habits seem to have vanished overnight.
Any advice?
