Determination

A couple of weeks ago I re-committed to eating better and exercising consistently. So far both have been going well and I've been losing again. But now the scale isn't moving. I lost about 8 pounds the first week and so far this week I've lost only 2 pounds even though I stuck to the same plan as last week. I know I should be fine with it, I guess I just expected more because of the amount of effort I'm putting into planning my meals and working out. I am determined to get to onederland. I've set weekly goals for myself until the week before Christmas and my goal for this coming Monday is 199.5 I'm a pound away and the scale isn't budging. It's frustrating, but rather than backing off which is what I've done a couple of times in the last six months, I am more determined than ever to hit this goal.

The biggest goal I set for myself after WLS was to get to a weight under 200.This is even more monumental to me than getting to my final goal weight. I've been on too many diets to count over the last decade and I was never able to get below 200, I think the closest I ever got was around 215. I'm 200.5 today and have been for the last few days. Every morning I step on the scale hoping that today will be the day that I see 199.5 and although it makes me want to scream. I. am. not. quitting. It will happen.
