This is honestly the first time in my life my weight loss journey has felt different. In the past, after the second month I usually hit a plateau and feel defeated, leading to me being okay with rationalizing self-destructive behaviors. This time, after the second month, I again hit a plateau and was stuck in the same up/down 3-4 lb. weight range for almost three weeks. I was incredibly frustrated and started going down that same path of self-destruction and rationalization. BUT...
This time I never stopped being conscious of what I was putting into my mouth. This time, even though I am NOT a morning person, I never stopped getting up at 5 am to work out. And this time, I never stopped believing in myself that I could break through my plateau. I switched up my diet and calorie intake, focusing on eating more carbs in the morning than at night. I kept up with my exercise routine, which moved over to a new stage earlier this week. I continued logging into FitClick every day. AND...
I lost weight again!!!
When I was working out this morning, I kept thinking, "For the first time in my life, I AM EMPOWERED TO MAKE A PERMANENT CHANGE!!" I can't begin to tell you how that made me feel, and how it helped me power through my workout, start my morning feeling excited and with a huge smile, and appreciate my life.
This is my biggest change!
