Okay, so I've been really good this week. Working out, walking my 1.2 mile everyday, and eating good and havn't lost a lb. yet.. aghghg I'm getting frustrated.. so I'm sitting here and I really want a bowl of Special K cereal. My belly isn't grumbling for it I just want it.. and I dont want to eat it becuase I just really want to at least drop a lb.... I still have 900+ calories left.. but I am feeling guilty if I eat it.. Any ideas to take my mind of wanting it?!
Thanks
:sad:

    Did you end up eating it yet? My suggestion is go drink a glass of ice water or eat some veggies. Sounds like you are rocking this week!

    If you have over 900 calories left you NEED to eat. A common reason people don't lose weight is because they don't eat enough calories because they think that if they eat just a few they'll lose weight. Actually, the opposite is true- your body goes into starvation mode and stops burning calories because it doesn't have any to burn!

    Have some cereal:happy:

    kelynn is right. Eat your cereal and be happy. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    And remember pounds aren't everything. You started at 203 and your down 14 lbs according to your ticker so you may have hit your first plateau where your metabolism is adjusting. Pay attention to the inches more than the scale right now.

    One day at a time and you'll be fine. You'll see another drop soon but in the meantime pay attention to how your clothes are fitting and find some encouragement there. :happy: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    You're doing great!!!!!

    I ate my cereal and am complete..
    I thought I was like gonna have a meltdown.. haha.
    Thanks for the support... thought it wasn't an emergency it was to me <3

    Look at where you started and where you are now. Be patient. Drink more and shake things up a bit with your eating. You'll get there. I'm rooting for you.:bigsmile:
