After my great start in week 1, which I was REALLY happy about, my weight loss has slowed right down. I've stuck to SS apart from accidentally licking my finger when I was baking with the kids! (I don't mean a huge blob of cookie dough either, there was nothing there to lick really!) I've jumped on the scales, I know I shouldn't, and on the 5th day of my second week I am 1.5 lbs down.
I know I should be positive about this and it's 1.5lbs GONE but why is it such a little amount? I didn't expect to keep losing weight at the rate I did in Week 1 but I did think/hope I might be 3 or 4 lbs down. It's pretty disheartening.
I'm drinking all my water, I did have a bar one day even though I'm not supposed to until after this week. I drank lots of extra water to compensate for the lack of water in the bar and checked with Ketostix that I didn't drop out of Ketosis.
I'm really trying to tell myself that it will keep coming off if I keep going, it can't fail to come off can it! But the food gremlins in my head keep trying to tell me to give up and have a cheese sandwich! lol. I WON'T DO THAT!
The silly thing is, I lost 15lb in week 1, if I had lost 8 and 8 again now I'd be over the moon. Someone slap me back into positive thinking mode please!
Any ideas?
