hi guys
you all are amazing! i was so excited to see that yall responded to me. it makes me feel like i am in this with a great crew!
i weighed in today and amazingly i had lost 5.5# after my .5# gain. i couldnt believe the scale!
martha, you were right about seeing where i stand, that is exactly what my doctor said. i know now to just take things as they come. if the scale goes up stick with it and if the scale goes down, stick with it!
jan, the scale is pretty awful
and scary. ill definitely keep the extra shake thing in mind if i run into this again. im now at 49.5# off, so i assume that the longer plateau is right around the corner. im glad to hear that it is normal
luz: i hear ya on the dd coffee! it is horribly addictive. i tried getting off all caffeine about 2 years ago and and i experienced the same thing martha did with the worst headache ever in the history of mankind. i just love my coffee and if that is my one "bad" food then that is ok with me. as for the weigh in i did go pee right before and told my doc that if it was a gain to prepare me....before i started this program, i would weigh myself like 10 times in a row, with clothes, without, after i breathed out, holding my breath....ugh!!! the things we put ourselves through.
the main thing is that i love all of you guys! it means so much to me to see that yall are behind me. i want you guys to know that i have never had people to talk to about my weight. everyone around me is thin and fit. i am humiliated to discuss my weight with them. its weird how they are starting to notice, which is another stress for me all together.
anyway...thanks again for your kinds words and your encouragement. it is so nice to have a safe place to fall when i need support during this journey
