Like you, right now feels good, but I still want to reach my goal. <br /><br />I definitely have to remind myself of slight fluctuations, especially since I am on steroids right now. I am being mindful and drinking lost of water to help with the bloat. <br /><br />Sounds like we both found the key!

I know, because I'm having a similar one. <br /><br />But I just want to remind you that, in the same way you can get back on track after eating the wrong foods, you can also get back on track if you end up gaining a few pounds.<br /><br />I don't get too bothered by anything under 5, I just focus and get strict with myself for a little bit. It's so great to not have that feeling of giving up because of a backslide. And that comes from knowing that it's possible to lose without starving yourself. You've found the key.<br /><br />I have to admit, I went a bit further afield than I'd planned and was a little discouraged to see SEVEN whole pounds creep back up. But a couple of days into my "get serious" routine saw enough of an improvement that I relaxed again. <br /><br />I may not meet my weight goal by my date goal, but I am still 35 pounds lighter than I was when I started, and I am confident I can shed the last 15. That keeps me from getting too stressed about exact weights and exact dates.<br /><br />But you know what the very best thing is? Finding out just how well you can eat and maintain a weight. Instead of getting frustrated by smaller weight loss increments, I take comfort in knowing that I will be able to eat so amazingly well when I hit my maintenance weight.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck! Can't wait to see your shopping results when you finally hit the stores.:)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395686312754791503noreply@blogger.com
