How come I'm not losing weight?

Actually, I do need to lose 15 pounds by the end of this month. I have a very very important event that I've been waiting 5 years for.
Oh boy. Ok honey, here's some tough love.
At your current weight, 15 isn't going to be as noticeable as you're thinking it will be. The 40 you've already lost will absolutely be noticeable! Be proud of that and keep working, but forget this crazy goal of dropping 15 this month - or, don't forget it, but recognize that it will be difficult, in the long run it could be counterproductive (you might put it right back on plus more if you restrict too severely), and it's not going to change how much you enjoy the event unless you choose to make it the focus of your life. Get some perspective here. Really.
Don't let this short term goal of 15lbs overshadow your 40lb overall loss. You're a beautiful girl. Go to this event feeling proud (like you should!), whether you lose another 5 in the next month or whether you lose none.0
