Thanks Hunter for remembering that glorious day! LOL!!
Yes NoelFigart, it's true.
I took my scale out in the backyard a few years ago and smashed it to bits with my sledghammer!
Was very envigorating!!!
I even hung the "killed" scale on the wall like a trophy for a while! LOL
Don't give up LucDown!
Real permanent weight loss takes time and perseverence!!
Fad diets set us up for being psyched out because you are duped into thinking that losing 30 lbs in one month is doable and real. It's not!
Stick with this through the ups and downs and you will see that the downward trend will win out!
Since May I lost 9 pounds, and now it's 8 due to a less than perfect week..
It was 7 before that.. Just keep getting back on that horse!!!
I figure if I lose two pounds a month I am doing great. I could put myself through mental agony and *expect* more, like one or two pounds a week, but I know for me that's totally unrealistic as I am doing the most maintainable version of this plan for me as I can.. That includes a bunch of messups for the month, but I don't get psyched out and quit.
Okay so the end of the year I am guessing I may be down about 24 pounds.. If I think of this in the context of those fad diets, and even the not so fad ones like Weight Watchers, it doesn't sound great, but I know it is because I didn't make myself insane in the process and I'm not going to undo it all by then yoyoing around for years on end.
Two good weeks is a great beginning! Don't give up!
Your ratio of good and bad weeks will fluctuate over time, and that's simply unavoidable, so just accept that and have faith that you will get there with time and perseverence! Just expect some bad patches and don't get psyched out!!
Peace and Love,
