Broke the Stall-Yeah!

Well, finally after 5 weeks, the stall has been broken.  Here are my hopefully helpful hints.  I added more protein and water.  I am exercising.  I am eating wayyyy slower.  I am being so much more careful about drinking water after I eat.  I found myself hungry, shortly after eating, probably because I washed the food out of my stomach and found myself grazing; sometimes on one chip here or a bite of carbs there, but they do add up.  I was shocked when I tracked my food on MFP.  They really do add up.

I had to go to an interview yesterday and put on some of my old blazers and suits.  OMG, they were so big on me, I looked sloppy.  I have dropped 3.5 lbs this week and I am so happy.  I went 5 weeks without an loss of even 1 oz.  So, hope these hints help someone.  And thank you for all of your help on this site.  They were your hints and not the Doctor's office's hints that I followed.  I know it's not a big weight loss but I feel so much more confident that I can do this and lose the 60 lbs I have left.  I have already lost 40.   We can do this!

HOORAY! Good-bye stall! 

I saw my NUT yesterday and she told me I can start drinking liquids up to eating my meal. I gave that a try at my dinner date last night. Nope. I totally got hungry again much, much sooner. I'll stick to Frisco's awesome post about the pyloric valve and the 1/2 hr rules. Why fiddle with something that's already working very well for me?

CONGRATS!!
