The dreaded STALL!

Oct 10, 2009

So I think I'm in the midst of my first, real stall. It sucks.

It's been about 3 weeks and I've stayed the same weight. Still at the 48 pounds gone since surgery place. The only thing that comforts me is the knowledge that this is "normal" and everyone on all my wls sites expresses going through it periodically. It still sucks. I think the worst part is when every week people ask me, "SO...what's the number this week?!" and I want to hide under the nearest table. I hate having to say, "still the same". People seem to look at me and judge me... like I can almost hear their thoughts: Oh she must be doing something wrong, she must be eating too much again. Maybe she is going to fail at this after all?

Ugh. Did I mention this sucks? The thing that sucks the worst is that I haven't really been eating too much. I'm still only about 3 1/2 months out of surgery and I still can only fit about 1/4-1/2 of a cup of food in me at a time. Granted, the food I fit in is not always the "best" choices... but it's not like I'm eating fast food or anything! I'm hopeful this is just my body adjusting and it will pass soon. I'm going to kick up my protein intake and limit my carbs... I've been eating too many carbs I think. Damn carbs... go down SO easy and don't hurt! Why does the chicken and beef always have to hurt?!
