Struggling

So the last week and a half have felt like an eternity when it comes to my weight loss journey. I haven't really posted anything because I have been depressed, which is really all the more reason I should post. Isn't it funny how we forget so quickly the things we are suppose to be proud of when the going gets tough.

I KNOW that I have been doing great and putting in the work.

And I KNOW that I have already done better than I ever have by losing 39lbs.

And I KNOW that weight loss is a process and doesn't come over night.

And I KNOW that I'm probably gaining muscle.

I know all these things but it doesn't stop me from going to a bad mental place when I try so hard and see no results. But regardless of me being discouraged I have pushed on in the hopes that I will see results soon. (Normally I would have given up at this point.) I feel like I have been stuck at the same weight for like 3 weeks but it really has only been a week and a half.

So since I didn't post my weigh in this past Friday like I was suppose to here it is:

Starting Weight: 280

Weight This Week: 241

Pounds Lost This Week: 0

Total Pounds Lost: 39

On a happier note I have been loving the gym! I have been almost every day since my membership started. Most days I have been getting up early to go before work and that seems to be helping me have energy and be in a better mood....Who Knew?

How have you dealt with a plateau? How long did it last for you?
