Hi all,
Ok, today was my 8th weigh in and I lost 2lbs, I was gutted I know a loss is a loss and I am grateful for it but the bigger losses are what make SS worth while!
I was in a similar situation a couple of weeks back where I only lost 1lb and was really upset, it is so hard to understand how you can lose 4-5lbs one week and 1-2lbs another when you are physically consuming the same thing
When I lost the 1lb I had just had a very stressful week with hospital visits and my cdc felt the stress had effected my loss and then again last week I had another stressful week :cry: and wonder if this is the reason for the lower loss???
I know our bodies will do what they want but it is a little disheartening that's all.
I remember my doctor advising that when people suffer from big bouts of stress the body copes by using fight or flight but if someone suffers from constant low level anxiety the body may not function as efficiently as it should, including weight loss, quite interesting really??!!
When doing ww or sw you can work out what you have eaten to cause the gain/lower loss etc but with ss it is different as it's the same every day and I guess I am just trying to make sense of it?
What do you all think? Will I drive myself insane trying to make sense when really I can't?
Thanks peeps xxx
