Struggling for Momentum

Two weeks ago I weighed in and gained .4 pounds. I was sick and didn't exercise and had been eating more comfort foods. Fine. Last week I stayed the same. I was in the midst of my cycle and figured I was bloated. Fine. This week I lost .2 pounds. See the point in front of the 2? Not fine. I did all my workouts this week and stayed within my Weight Watchers points allotment. You all know I had a weekend in Southern California that included a calorie-laden meal at Ruth's Chris. But I ate clean the rest of the week and really didn't think it was going to be a factor.

There are many reasons I can drum up for why I didn't lose more. And I'm determined to just keep trudging along with the faith and knowledge that if I do that I will lose the weight, even if it is .2 pounds at a time. I just figured out it would take me nearly 4 years to get to goal at .2 pounds per week. And you know what? That's ok. The problem is momentum. I'm feeling a little stuck, stalled.

I do this every time I have a weigh-in that is vastly different from what I think I earned through exercise and diet. It's almost like a little rebellion. But I'm feeling like I need a good sized loss to get a little momentum going. How about over a pound? And it's so hard not to compare to others. I was talking with a woman on the WW message boards when I noticed she lost almost all the weight I need to lose (about 85 pounds total) in a year. Ugh. Ok, I'm definitely letting that one go.

Today is gym day. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I will go.

In reading over my post I just realized that by saying, "I did everything I was supposed to and didn't lose weight and that's not ok" I'm sort of blaming some unknown thing. This is my body, my choices, my exercise, my goals. If I didn't lose weight it's not unfair. By saying that I'm giving away my power to some outside source. I don't know why I didn't lose more but I know I will in the future. Through making better choices, exercising, keeping at this. I'm going to keep saying this until I believe it again
