The official weigh in at the doctor's office went ok. I lost 2.8 lbs. I know the medical assistants mean well, but when they give me advice it always rubs me wrong. I'm probably just pissed at myself for not committing to either follow this diet more closely or change to something else. I lost a good amount of weight this week but I was definitely in deprivation mode. I can't keep that up for very long. Something's gotta give, why can't I get motivated to make a change?
Lately, I feel like I am moving in slow motion. All of my current goals are long term goals. Watching the clock, waiting for them to come to fruition is like torture. I am making the small decisions each day to make the bigger picture happen but my attention span is short. All work and no play makes Erin a dull girl. I just had a vacation last month, even. That seems so long ago already.
Whine, whine, complain, complain. I gotta be like Kingkeld and think of the positives:
- I lost weight this week!
- I had ice cream and chocolate this week.
- I finally called Fidelity and rolled over my old 401k into the current one (been procrastinating on that for like... 12 years, lol)
- I wore a skirt this weekend that I haven't worn in at least 5 years. I knew I kept that for a reason, lol.
- Went to see the Katy Perry movie with girlfriends, didn't eat or drink any theater junk and didn't miss it.

Ugh, yes. moving in slow motion is exactly it. Sometimes it's a struggle to just enjoy the now. I feel like I'm just killing time until...? what I don't know. But I'm killing it and not moving any closer to a goal. Double ugh. Good choice on keeping the skirt. I won't toss clothes either. I'm such a hoarder!

Good job on your loss! Maybe you could set some small goals and rewards to go with them? That motivates me.

I found it take some time to come to terms with any major changes in your life. I went thru something similar about six to eight months into it. I was worried I was losing weight to fast, then I worried that I was losing weight to slow. I finally managed to quite obsessing over it and let things happen naturally. My weight loss is slower than I expected but like yours it is still dropping. I'm now almost a year into this and had planned to lose 100 pound in a year, if I'm lucky it will be 75 maybe. But whatever it is I'm in way better shape than I was a year ago. And it might take me another two years to get to a reasonable weight but I'm good with that. You got to look at the long term.

@HCB, thanks! That was actually taken a while back, maybe last year. I think I was on Isagenix at the time. I just wanted to replace the one I half-assed to get something other than the default up there.
