Hi mia, you are too hard on yourself hun. sometimes we just need to adjust our goals a little. there is nothing wrong with that. for example, i had an original goal to be 4 stone down by now based on my first months loss. but now because my body just wont shift as much weight as it did in the begining, i have to set my goal for a later date, nonetheless, Im going to get there. Im not in a race and as long as i get there in a "reasonable" time, i wont let the slow down discourage me. I found i was measuring my success by others on this forum who have done well in a short time, but now i see , that is silly and wrong coz im NOT THEM, IM ME!! and will get to MY goal in MY time and of course be successful by MY standards with MY efforts. so one day we(you and me) will be posting on here our sucess stories with all the ups and downs and help others going through the same things we once went through. I will say it again, you have done really well, you are close to goal and you look gorgeous!! So a blip is not a faliure, its just a moment in time. Hey , you know maybe I shouldnt say it but if the blip was theraputic in some way, then why not? You needed it. Its ony when it becomes a routine that you need to put yourself in check.... Keep going, be strong.
P.S. Maybe we could start a thread just for people who lose slowly, to encourage each other and reassure ourselves we are not alone and its OK to lose at a slower pace without feeling the pressure of a stone a month!!!
