I knew today's weigh in wasn't going to be as great as weeks past. Partly due to my back being out of whack this last week and literally I wasn't able to do anything. So my activity was almost nothing. Unless you can count sitting on the couch reading activity, which I don't think you can. I also had a stress full weekend on top of not being able to do anything. So at this weeks weigh in I only lost 1 pound. Which puts my total at 8.8 in 3 weeks. Still isn't bad but I so wanted to pass that 10 pound mark. I'm trying not to be to hard on myself. I have to remind myself that I didn't get like this over night so I'm not going to lose it overnight.
At today's meeting we talked about "Tricks of the Trade" ideas and suggestions from those who have gone before us and from us that were there on how to make it through this. As a group we came up with some good ones and then they suggested some more. The one that I took away from it was this is a lifestyle change not a quick fix. There can be no more "breaks" I can't decide today that I'm going to take a break for a few weeks and then get back on track. It won't happen. If I was physically sick and needed to take medication on a daily basis would I take a break from my meds? NO. So why should I treat my weight loss any differently? I am where I am because I took a break and obviously it didn't work out to well for me.

Look at it this way too. At least you lost and didn't gain! The third week that I went back, I had gained back 2 of of 2.2 pounds that I lost the first week on the program! I was so bummed. So now when I don't lose that much but have at least lost something, I think that way.
Be encouraged!
