My stall broke
So after the scale didn't move for what seemed like ages, I have dropped SEVEN POUNDS in the last three days!! I really hate my stalls, but coming down off of them is so exhilirating! LOL I have finally stopped stressing about it and anymore when I see the same number as the day before, I am like "Meh...maybe tomorrow".
BTW, I ended up breaking this stall by increasing calories. I had to eat half a muffin each morning for 2 mornings then 1/2 a cookie (blech) the third day. I felt miserable because it is like my body is only programmed to take in X amount of calories and increasing it gave me a pouch-ache!!! But it did the trick, guess those extra carbs were what my body was missing, because it is happy and content and now I am back on the right track again.
I told my husband that if I had been able to read my body's signals so well my entire life like I can now, I would never have gotten fat!!!! It is so easy now for me to turn away from ice cream- I know that I will be sick from it.....it is easy to refuse a chocolate bar- I know I will be in pain............
OHHHH AND............a big NSV....I am now JUST overweight!!!!!!! I am no longer in any of the Obese categories!!!! I have not been "overweight" since I was 9 years old!!!!! And I went to the mall and all of the jeans I bought were in size 8s!!!! I have dropped from 275 to 158 and went from a size 28W to an 8 :)
Such a good week!
