Are gonna take a while.

And SHOULD take a while.

I read about so many people so frustrated over the scale not moving...but was glad to hear what my doctor told me Friday.

She said I should be losing at a rate of about a pound a month from now on. She said she would like to see me lose 10 pounds a year and be at my goal in two years. No faster.

Now I gotta say how genius this is...of course I would love faster, but this comment gives me three great benefits. For one, I don't beat myself up if I only lose 2 pounds a month. One was fine! And two...it says in two years I sure ain't gonna gain any back if I am still trying to lose. And three, I can work on a healthy forever diet, not snap when I try to move to maintenance.

I love her. I'm gonna go eat...lol
