It WILL happen, when my body is ready!!

So I started my "make over" on June 23rd - I've been a member for a long while, but was always trying to lose fast and always ended up giving up. I just had this overwhealming desire to get myself on track.
I was considering surgery, then I started reading the success stories on here. I was surprised to learn that the large weight losses people were reporting were from losing slowly over a long time. These also seemed to be the most successful at keeping the weight off. It all made sense to me, I love to eat, hate feeling deprived and when I have lost the weight I want to be able to maintain easily. So I planned for a pound a week. 10 weeks later and 10lb lighter, it works, OK, it's not like it was 1lb of fat every week, infact some weeks I was soooo fustrated with the scale I could of thrown it out the window. :explode: Thank heavens I measured myself!! However, I was NOT going to give up. What was I going to go back to?? Eating crap, feeling yucky, fustrated 'cos my clothes were ugly, didn't fit right. Sweating every summer, even though I love the heat???? Nope, not that, not ever again, so I pushed on, I gave up weighing every week, every 2 weeks and went to monthly.
My body will not fall into line with my desire of 1lb loss a week, it has its own way of doing it, At first I thought something was wrong with me, imagining all kinds of disorders that were ganging up on me and thwarting my progress, nope just my honery body doing its unique to me body thing!!!!! But here's the thing, the tape measure never lied, it showed me a loss every 2 weeks, even if the scale did not - it is my best friend, even has its own cubby!!
I still have a lot to lose, but I am in no hurry, I want to do this the right way for me. So to those of you out there who are fustrated at your body for not letting go of the weight in an orderly fashion like you have planned, take a "chill pill", weigh yourself less, measure yourself and just keep on "keeping on". It will happen :drinker:
