Finally broke my stall
In all honesty, I guess I cannot properly call it a stall, since I have been losing inches steadily. In fact, I can wear clothes today that I couldn't wear 2 weeks ago. However, the number on the scale has a powerful impact, and I have been in a significant funk for the past 6 weeks or so. On Friday, November 28, I weighed 270. The next Friday I had gained 4 pounds and kept that gain until today. I did NOTHING different. I stayed on plan, I exercised, I drank water, I got plenty of sleep (or as much as I could, considering I have a 3 month old daugher).
I have slowly lost that four pounds, and now today I finally feel OK for the first time in weeks. In fact, for the past few days I had been seriously considering quitting this diet altogether.
Even seeing the inches lost, even wearing the clothes that were too tight before, the number on the scale is all-consuming. Isn't that odd?
Anyway, I thought I would announce that my stall has finally been broken. It feels good. I definately needed it.
