The first thing is to look at how well you have done so far, not only at the 10lbs you've lost but think about where you moght have been if you'd continued the way you were before, you might have even gained 10 lbs so really that is 20lbs you can pop in your pocket.
Secondly, compare yourself to no one but yourself. Everyone's body will act differently, you don't say how overweight the people with the brilliant losses are, as a rule the more you have to lose the bigger the losses will be. This week at group a girl that has lost 5 stones was disheartened because instead the 4lbs a week she had been losing in the past have recently dropped to 1.5lb a week losses, but she has done amazingly well! In fact national governments guidelines say that 1-2 lbs a week is healthy.
Thirdly how is giving up going to make you feel better? Even if you lose 0.5lbs a week you'll be at target way before the 2012 Olympics arrive in London, and when you think about it that's not that far away is it? If you give up and console yourself in food where will you be?
Everyone has a blip now and them, best thing is to say to yourself 'now that was a nice flexi-syns day, now where's my notepad and sw books' and plan your next few days food out. You're going to make it as long as you believe you can, it might not be as soon as you'd like but that's okay.
