Lessons learned

May 12, 2009

Well I'm almost 2 months out and I have lost about 49lbs. I am extremely grateful to have lost that much and managed to keep it off. My clothes reveal to me the extent of my weight loss, whereas the scale isn't as inviting. I have started to get frustrated. I went through 3 weeks of not losing a thing or if I did later in the day I gained or so the scale said. It began to drive me crazy. So I decided not to look at it anymore. I struggled to comprehend why I felt so down on myself. And then low and behold when I least expected it I lost 7 lbs in a matter of days.  Patience truly is the KEY.  I have learned during this experience to continue following the guidelines and most of all be patient.  I guess I am trying to wish away all the lbs now instead of being grateful for the lbs I have already lost. So I need to come back to reality and humble myself. Which is easier said than done. But I know I can do it.  If anyone has any words of encouragement I surely could use them.
