So when I plateaued this week, I started having the same failure feelings as before. I said to myself- why have a shake and NOT lose? I should have PIZZA and not lose!
You guys don't realize how hard it is to see that I have lost nothing this week- when there are people skinnier than me that have lost 15 pounds by their second week of medifasting. I know I should not compare- but it does drive me crazy. I wanted to see the same great results as others did- losing 20 pounds their first month, 15 the next and so on...I guess I expected too much.
I know you will all argue with this, but after being on so many other diets that did not work, I saw that I was already plateauing 3 weeks into Medifasting, so I got angry and ate.
Beach Baby:
I have more than twice the amount that you have to lose, its seems that after my 1st initial drop, every 8 days or so the scale does not budge. Its hard and can be frustrating. I have learned to take the word diet out of my vocabulary. This is a LIFESTYLE change. If I stick to it, I know the weight will come off. In the meantime, I feel better that my body is not overloaded with sugar, I went to the DR and my bloodwork came back great, and my clothes fit better than they have in a longtime.
Just pick yourself up, and start again. It may seem easier for the ones that are dropping weight quickly, but...they have the same daily struggles as we all do. So, we can all do this together!
Have a great Medi-Day!!!
