Day Ten - Cycle Four (Day 61) Wednesday, April 12, 2011

THE GLAMOUR OF THIS EATING PROGRAM IS WEARING OFF

     It is getting harder and harder to justify to myself why I should eat another salad or another piece of grilled chicken with vegetables.  The eagerness and excitement have left the building and I feel stuck with the same choice of foods every day.  I haven't put in any effort to find new recipes - other than asking others for them, but I haven't received any.  I feel hugely disappointed that not only did I not lose any weight last weigh in, but I gained a pound.  I know it could have been worse, but with the amount of weight that I have to lose, I should not be at a plateau already.  This weight should be pouring ff of me for at least another 70 pounds before the really hard work begins!  This is making it so much harder to convince myself to continue.
     This is why I have failed so many times before, and I am sure why others have too.  There just isn't enough gratification or reward for ALL of the HARD work.

    I am going to keep going and try to remember that even when I can't see a physical or a number change - that my eating habits are much better for my body and are probably prolonging my life - such that it is at this weight...
