Stepped on the scale again this morning and it said it went up again! So maddening! I know I feel thinner. I know I feel like I look better. It would just be so nice to be able to visibly see the numbers! I know everyone says give it a few more weeks and it'll start coming off. I've only been at this just under two weeks now. I also don't have a LOT to lose. Just about 15 lbs. I bet many of you know that frustration though! It's like...come on scale! Be nice to me!!

    Seriously, my scale hasn't moved much in the last few weeks, and when it has it hasn't been the right direction. I know that my body has changed though, so I'm trying to use that to encourage myself.

    I totally understand!! I haven't seen the numbers going down in a while...and I only have 20 in total to lose. Totally frustrating...but on the other hand, I FEEL better! I like that I'm learning to control my portions, and that I'm eating better and starting to be a little more active. I think that the main thing is how you feel; if you feel good you'll be more likely to keep up the good work! Whereas if you feel defeated and start getting down on yourself you run the risk of giving up. Keep going, you're doing a few things right at least! If you feel better and feel like you look better, that's amazing; be happy about that!
