I SO feel you on this. I've been losing the same ten pounds for the past three months as well and want to fling my scale out the window. It's so tiring to bust your butt for so long and then just stall.

Thank you for your post. <BR/><BR/>Good for you for not giving up. You can do it, we can do it and we're aloud to bitch and complain as much as we want to along the way!!!! <BR/><BR/>I'll be keeping an eye on you from now on.

It's great to read your honesty, whether you're postive or pissed off!;)<BR/><BR/>I've been stuck before and have actually thrown my scale in the garbage when it's shown a gain after busting my ass all week. It's hard work and you like to be rewarded for it damn it! After awhile that positivity just starts to feel like a farce because you feel like you're kidding yourself and your body has some sort of vendetta against you. It's frustrating and it SUCKS. And what are you really suppose to do about it? There is no quick fix repair kit to get you going in the right direction. <BR/><BR/>And honestly, I am SO sick of drinking water. I know it's supposed to help with weight loss but no amount of adding lemons and such will make me forget how sick I am of water! <BR/><BR/>You need a time like this every once in a while and everyone has them. I myself don't have a blog or believe me, I'd have a tantrum on there daily;)<BR/><BR/>You go ahead and get mad because I'm mad for you. Use that anger now to open a can of whoop-ass and show that scale whose boss (or just throw it away like I do...but yeah, I retrieve it later on ::rolling eyes::...to keep buying new ones would just get expensive)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-20396480029852002202007-08-29T16:32:00.000+02:002007-08-29T16:32:00.000+02:00I love your honesty Sarah. Seriously, your honest...I love your honesty Sarah. Seriously, your honesty and your unique insight on this process is what had me hooked on your blog from the beginning. DO NOT APOLOGIZE for getting angry. Woman, you're human, we all have our ups and downs. Now, dust yourself off and get back on the wagon. You're only angry because you want this so bad, if you didn't care about losing weight, this momentary gain would not affect you in the least. Use this angry energy to power yourself through the next week, and lose that crap.<BR/>You can do it girl! I'm in the same battle as you, and I know how sucky it can get, but you have come so far, and you can go further.<BR/><BR/>-Sarah (from Miami)Chic Ink Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004205533567437118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-79733065684155576432007-08-28T17:44:00.000+02:002007-08-28T17:44:00.000+02:00I'm not going to sit here and give you pithy words...I'm not going to sit here and give you pithy words of wisdom or hugs of encouragement and I'm not going to be all cheery either.<BR/><BR/>You know why? <BR/><BR/>Because I've been there. I've been p*ssed about the lack of progress. I've kicked a scale and let out a stream of obscenities. I stormed out of a WW meeting and sat in my car alternately swearing and sobbing. I've told myself (and my husband) that maybe, just maybe I was supposed to be fat forever.<BR/><BR/>It happens. And you're allowed to be p*ssed. Get it out. Kick something (but don't break your foot). Scream.<BR/><BR/>And then do what you have to do--get back up, pick yourself up and keep going. Because in the end, you realize there's more than stretchy clothes and chocolate. You realize there are less positives to being overweight than we think.<BR/><BR/>Keep plugging girl and know eventually, it WILL happen. It took me five weeks to see the scale go down. Five weeks. And I'm still in disbelief--it better not go back up this week or I'll go postal--but that moment when you see the progress...it's all the more sweeter.<BR/><BR/>Go channel this anger into a kickboxing workout. I bet you'll rock!*ccc*https://www.blogger.com/profile/01938403363974512245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12473868.post-32170002877572924582007-08-28T15:06:00.000+02:002007-08-28T15:06:00.000+02:00Hi Sarah, I don't have a blog but i've been readin...Hi Sarah, <BR/>I don't have a blog but i've been reading yours for a couple months now. As my trainer would say to me "GOOD! Get pissed and now show me what you've really got!" I've been stuck in the same "lets lose the same 5lbs over and over again" rut and this week i'm pissed just like you. I know exactly what I should be doing and how to do it, but for some reason.....<BR/><BR/>My trainer calls it complacency. We are so happy we've lost so much weight and look great, we get happy. Thats a bad thing, right? haha. I've lost 40lbs so far and have 20 more to go. I've been stuck since January. YES, JANUARY! So I decided this weekend i can no longer say "i've lost 40lbs, isn't that good?" but now i have to say, "OK, i'm at 180, i'm not satisfied with that, I need to lose 20lbs, not 20 MORE lbs". So i'm starting all over. My goal is no longer to lose 60lbs, its to lose 20. I can't dwell on the 40 i've already lost. That doesn't matter anymore, since it happened 9 months ago. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, nobody expects you to be little miss positivity all the time, its good to get pissed. Use that as your energy to run that extra mile or finish those extra couple of reps. Use it to set your new goals and reset your mind. You are no longer the Sarah that has LOST X amount of lbs, you are the Sarah that wants to LOSE X amount of lbs. And guess what, you know you can do it because you already have!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
