Tale of the tape, week 3.
Permalink  
 


Nothing lost nothing gained! Dissappointed but at least it's stable. I discussed this with my WW sponsor (also one of us) and with help and using the programme tools I could see where I had gone wrong.

Although I ate less and moved more I ate the wrong things - too much fats and oils, too much carbs and a return to snacking and comfort eating, not enough protein, fruit and veg.

Complacency!

But as my friend pointed out, a plateua can be a kick up as well as down. I've revisted my diet and rebalanced it so maybe I'll do no worse than stay where I am. It'd be nice to lose another 3 lbs to make it a stone in a month though.

Nicely done BB.  Acknowledging where you've gone wrong is a gift of the program to me.  I always had an excuse or justification in the past.  Now it's just me and my defects that I work on One Day At A Time.  Progress not perfection.  Keep at it, it'll get better.

Bill,

You said that you may have eaten the wrong things, but you continued on.

Way to go!!

By the way having a lot of experiance with weight loss I have found that at times we hit a plateau in our weight loss. This happens even when we are doing all the right things.  This is nothing more than our body adjusting a bit.  This too shall pass.

Larry,

Plateaus are such a bummer!!

Mine is still hanging in there...yet all I have is natural oatmeal with added flax for breakfast, a brown rice and tofu stuffed red pepper with a large side of asparagus for lunch, steamed broccoli, Greek yougurt, mixed grains, plain baked apple with nuts, seeds and raisons for dinner, a galleon of spring water, celery stuffed with hummus and 2 Wasa crisps with a tblspn of natural almond butter for a snack...AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!! And not a brownie in the house.

Hang tuff!

And for those who are thinking what the heck does this have to do with AA and the 12 steps, believe me, A LOT.
