The ups and downs
Posted by zazu on November 30th, 2007
I am happy to report that although the scale has been a series of ups and downs for the past 2-3 months, the same is not true for my spirits. I decided that this crazy semester was a difficult time to focus on my weight loss, so I’ve been more concerned with maintaining and taking care of everything I have to get done. After a 2.5 lb gain from Thanksgiving, my morning scale reading is down 1.5 lbs. My graph for for the past 2 months looks like this /\/\/\/\/\ I haven’t effectively lost any weight for several weeks, but I still feel good and my clothes fit (or are too big) and people notice regularly that I look better. I’m going to get back to losing when this semester ends and I have time to cook again, but for now I’m taking the ups and downs as they come. Happy Friday everyone!

I can understand how you’re feeling, my “loss” record is almost exactly like yours the last few months… school has me going crazy. But yet, you’re right - the scale hasn’t gone up, people still notice a change. Stick through the rest of the semester, I’m sure you’ll be successful regrouping then
I keep telling myself that I can go into the new year and say “I lost ___ lbs this year.” Since I had been the same weight for over 5 years, that still sounds good to me! And it does feel good to know I can maintain this weight for at least 3 months, lol.

Sounds like you’re doing great despite the circumstances. Maintenance is hard so if you’re doing it now that is great and it will make things easier later on. Keep up the great plan.
