I lost a pound this week. I happy that it continues to go down. Rationally, I know that this is what I should expect. 11.5 lbs. in six weeks is really good. For the most part, I am fine with it. I am not expecting to have "Biggest Loser" type losses. My frustration is with the overall time it takes to lose the weight. I very much want to get under 300 lbs. Psychologically, it would be a great relief. I know I just need to keep plugging away, living fit, and letting the weight come off naturally.
I guess that it is partly that I seem to have tricked myself into thinking that I gained the weight very quickly, therefore I should be able to take it off quickly. In reality, it did not put it on overnight. I was just deluding myself. When I finally started to look at my excess weight realistically, it just seemed like I went from gaining a few pounds to gaining a lot.
Still, I will take joy in the loss of one pound (especially knowing that there will be weeks that I will not lose any or even gain). It's one pound less than I weighed last week, and 11.5 lbs. less than I weighed 6 week ago.
Living Fit Is My #1 Job!
