Week 3 Stall

Well, it’s happening! I’m so glad I read about this beforehand, so I’m aware that stalls between weeks 3 and 6 are common. Headed into week 4, I’m down another half a pound.
But the important thing is that I’m trusting the process and following the instructions. And I feel better. 20 down since surgery, 70 total, and my body doesn’t hurt as much, or it hurts differently. Which is a strange thing to call progress, but I really think it is!
I am trying to remember to not live life by the scale, after spending so much time obsessing over it during my pre-op period. That 50lbs was a struggle, I can’t deny that.
But I get to go back to loving and listening to my body. I’m grateful!
