I haven't had a weigh-in that was the same for 3 days in a row since the 6 week plateau I went through during the "weight loss" portion of my journey back in 2017. Even more amazing is this weigh-in is after a high calorie day I always schedule in using my weekly allotment of calories. I even stepped on the scale 4 times to make sure! LOL
I'm always about a 1 lb. or more up on this day.
I have to say, it's a bit cathartic to weigh-in the same 3 days in a row and realize I can say "yay!" and celebrate it rather than have to negotiate and deal with that frustrating feeling that I'm lacking in progress or not doing enough.
That 6 week plateau was hands down one of the most challenging times in this girl's weight loss journey. I think at some point, the will to keep going just came from absolute stubbornness and some acceptance when I finally just said, "FINE THEN, I'LL JUST BE THE FITTEST, HEALTHIEST 186 LB. 5'2 GIRL THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN...I'M NOT STOPPING!"
LOL...It's a good thing I didn't, the plateau finally broke on Oct.5 2017 with a .2 lb loss, and then came slow, steady, sustainable losses thereafter.
So, I confess 113 lbs 3 days in row while in my third year of weight maintenance kinda feels like a Karmic gift of sorts.
And, this practicing Buddhist genuinely means it when she says, "Thank you Universe, for having this girl's back, then and now" :-)
