I am still stuck stuck stuck -- so then i say "F'it" and have a cocktail (only gin, lemon and sparkling water) and 3 glasses of wine (we had a dinner party last night)...and I'm down 1.5 pounds this morning! which i KNOW is dehydration from the alcohol...not loss at all and will make me regret having wasted a 24 hour period of possible fat-burning.

so maybe this isn;t totally whiney, but i hear you. I even measured and the tape hasn't moved this month. But somehow I feel a bit better today...more able to just rest with this and focus on the other benefits. It has taken me 5 months to get to the point of feelings like - this is just the way I eat, this is just normal . I don' want to lose that feeling, so that is a nsv right?

Search the word "patience" in the advanced search settings -- there are lots and lots of threads over the years with a lots of good advice which i have found helpful, or at least supportive and made me feel like I can be more patient.

Come say hi in my journal!
