I have experienced very little weight change for 3 months.... This is partly because I have not been very true to my plan. It's become increasingly frustrating as I have had a hard time losing the final 15 to 20 pounds. As such, I've let myself slack on the plan. The fact of the matter is that I love food. And, when dining out, it's been very nice to order what looks best rather than the one or two menu items that with substitutions would meet my diet needs. I realize that I can't continue like this or else I likely will re-gain the 80+ pounds that I have lost. I need to take a little time to re-evaluate my current state and intentions. And, I hope to get my mind back in focus. It's too easy to tell myself that I can go back on the diet after the holidays... this, I know is procrastination which could lead to infinite delays. Hopefully, I'll be back on track soon.
I'm not telling you this in hopes of pity or understanding. I think what I am going through is natural and quite common. It's a constant battle to keep my mind on track. It's much, much harder when progress is slow and when you are no longer feeling aches and pains related to being grossly overweight.
