Scales Are Not My Friend

I don't even have words for how disappointed I am in myself. I went to my weigh-in this evening to find out that after my dedication and hard work, I'd put on half a pound. What is going on?? It's so disheartening.


My only consolation is that next week my good behaviour will catch up with me, and I will have lost a couple of pounds. This is my fourth week of floating around the 144lb mark, and it's really getting to me. Even when I cut out all the nice food, I'm still static in my weight. Pfft.

But you know what? I'm going to flip this into a positive, because I can't sit around being disappointed in myself. Or at least, if I am disappointed in myself, I'm going to use that and make it work for me.

I'm going to work even harder this week, and I'm going to achieve something next week; even if it hurts me. Although I don't have any more diet tricks up my sleeve, so I'm hoping whatever's wrong with my body works itself out sharpish.

And I just realised that if I still want to get to my honeymoon goal, I now have to lose a frightening 3lbs each week, without fail. I think it's safe to say that my goal of being 133lbs is out of reach, so I've now decided that I'm going to focus only on getting into those surf shorts. Even if I weigh 144lbs on my honeymoon, I'm going to get into those shorts.

Don't ask me how, because I may need a miracle!

Maybe it is your lack of caffine?

Your body will just plateau for a while. It's normal. It will all work out. Just keep up the good work! :)

Perhaps anonymous is right, however I was expecting a rush of migraines with my come-down off caffeine, and since I've not suffered with that, I'm thinking my body's doing okay without the caffeine...

And I've plateaud before, but this was the first real week I could put 100% concentration into it. I thought it would throw my body into a shock weight loss, since I've been maintaining since March. Perhaps not though.

I'm not losing heart though; I will get there!
