trulytangledgrl Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 So, I have been struggling the past 2 weeks or so to get my weight below 181. In fact, it has been anywhere from 184 - 182, and I was getting so frustrated because it would not budge below my lowest 181. Well, today I get on the scale and the scale reads 180!!!!!! I jumped up and down because I was so friggen excited. My next mini goal is 179. When I see the 170's I will have more motivation than ever because in every diet I have done, the lowest I could ever get was 180. I would get to 180, get stuck, and after maybe 2 weeks I would get frustrated and say 'screw it!' and start eating like a pig again. SO, I am a little bit scared right now because its like dejavous... I feel like I am in the past, on another diet, and I am soooo afraid that I will be stuck here and go back to my old ways. I know this is different, though. I can't set myself up for failure, I have to set myself up for success, so in light of that I am putting this post out there to all you other bandsters so maybe you all can help motivate me to stick to it. I am proud of myself, though, because I did not give up these past few weeks despite being stuck and some days even being 3 lbs above my lowest weight. So thats a good thing! Yay for the band!

2mara Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Great job, Carrie!!!! I love milestones! Finally being lighter than when I was 9 months pregnant. Finally being lighter than my wedding day. I'm still 30 pounds heavier than my best ever dieting efforts, but I know I can get there AND beyond! It does get frustrating. I've been on a plateau about a week now -- but we can hang in there! We will make little milestones and they will give us so much motivation to keep going! You are making AWESOME progress! ~Tanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
