Mind playing tricks. Frustrating!

I posted last weight loss stall and everyone filled me in about the dreaded 3 week stall. I believe everyone and have "googled" the crap out of it.... But I still can't help but feel that old horrible failure feeling and the sense that it must be because of something I've done. Crazy I know but I keep trying to shake it but it is so hard! Thanks for reading!

Aidan - Don't stress yourself out about the stall...it will not help and can slow things down even further.

 

Don't be frustrated, we all lose at a different pace and remember, good things come to those who wait.

 

One day you will wake up and be down 7 pounds.....it will all even out as long as you follow the program and stay positive.

 

Good luck and good vibes!

I am in the same 3 week stall. 

Scales haven't moved one oz. in over a week.  Early yet.    We have only begun so have patience and faith

I know how hard the waiting is but hang in there. It will happen. You know in your heart if you are following the program and if you are your body has no choice but to give in and lose the weight. In the meant time you have to just wait and do you best to increase your exercise a little and one day you will be rewarded. Big Hugs, don't worry.

This will not be your only stall.  Therefore, you need to get your head straight.  Weight loss will not be in a straight line to goal weight.  It will bounce around.  Even once you are at goal weight, it does not stay the same ALL the time.

You are not a failure.
