lost 5.5lbs in 5 weeks
all the slimming world mag success stories seem to be i lost 3 stone in three months etc... feeling a bit disheartened?:sigh:
Ignore that! everyone loses in different ways.. for those who can lose that fast then great, but personally (and this is personally) i lost 4 and a half stone in a year and one month.
i lost exactly the same amount of lbs as i did in the weeks it took me to get to target. 1 lb per week.
i wouldnt have wanted it any other way, sure there were times i wished it could just disapear overnight etc.. But my god i struggled to ajust! your head and your body dont ajust at the same time, and it can take a while for you to catch up mentally. I was buying size 18s for months before i could get my head round when i first got in a 12! by the time i got to a size 10, i paniked as i'd never contemplated being a 10, always thought i'd make it to a 12 and that'd be it. If i'd lost 3 stone in 3 months, quite frankly i'd be a mess. . and i sure as hell wouldnt feel like i knew the plan well enough to maintain! anyone who can lose 3 stone in such a short time couldnt have had a gain, or atleast a proper one.. and i personally dont believe you can learn to deal with food and emotions untill youv been through some real ups and downs! everytime i gain, i look back over the last couple of times i may have gained, and how i dealt with it, what i ate, how i sorte myself out and got back on track.. and then i learn somthing each time, and can avoid it better next time!!
your doing so well. 1lb a week, although it may seem slow to you, is all you need. Much better than nothing at all, or gaining that 1lb per week eh!?
