FRUSTRATED.
I hate weighing myself, and I hate the scale.
UGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
Thank you for listening... I needed to get that off my chest. SO, I have gotten into this very unhealthy habit of weighing myself everyday. Ever since Christmas, I have been freaking out about not losing weight. Now that I think about it, that's probably why I'm not losing as much weight. Well, anyway, my weight fluctuates a lot every day. Like within a two pound range. This week the scale is saying that I gained weight. For reals. I'm telling you right now that I don't believe it. I did the same thing I did the week before when I lost two pounds. How could I have gained??? It's so stupid. I'm saying my weight is the same as last week. The same dumb 10 pounds lost.
Now, losing ten pounds really isn't a dumb thing. I have to stop being so frustrated. I should have lost 15 pounds by now, according to my original goal, but 10 is still pretty spectacular. This is why I have decided to adjust my goal. I am literally losing my mind and feeling so fat because I am not where I wanted to be. I can't move forward like this (especially when stress adds to my shoulder acting up, and it has been really bad the last two months). I have lost 10 pounds. I have gone down a size in my pants. I should feel good about that.
Thus, the new goal: Since I have lost 10 pounds in three months, I am going for another 10 in the next three months. We have to be realistic. I think I'm over losing 30. It's ok. Losing 20 would be amazing. And what if I kept it up? I could lose 40 pounds in a year! I'll take that any day. This is what my new chart looks like:
Onward and upward!!!!
My goal this week is to NOT step on that scale until Friday. I will exercise every day and be really good, and feel happy with whatever the scale shows at the end of the week.
The End

weighing daily is THE WORST! i started doing that and i haven't even started trying to lose weight yet. i'm so jealous of your 10 pounds. i think i'm almost ready to do something about it. i would kill to go down a pant size. KILL, i say!
Keep on going! I have lost soooo slowly. Sometimes I feel like I am losing inches with the exercising, but not losing pounds. If you can keep the 10 pounds off that is a definite accomplishment. We all know how easy it is to gain 10 pounds!
Yes, tell about your inches lost after your three months. What about strength gained? You are able to exercise for longer too right?
I am proud of you! Slow and steady wins the race!
I was so frustrated that I completely forgot to do my measeuements! Thanks for the reminder, Kayla!
