This week's weigh in was bittersweet for me. The great news is that I lost exactly 2 lbs, which is a good loss for a person my height and weight (the less you weigh, the slower it comes off). I should be happy, right?? For some reason, I can't help but feel disappointed for not losing more. I'm so close to my 10% goal (only 1.8 lbs away) that I can smell it and my goal was to be at my 10% by Thanksgiving. I've still got a week to lose that 1.8 lbs, but for some reason I really wanted it to be this week.
I read this guy's blog last night, and I could totally relate to the way he's feeling. I have the "never enough" attitude in life towards a lot of different things, but I've really been feeling this way when it comes to weight loss. I keep hearing the "It's a marathon, not a sprint" sentiments, but I feel like telling people to stop feeding me lines of bullshit. I just need to realize that when you have less to lose, you're not going to drop 4 and 5 lbs a week (at least not in a healthy way). What I've lost so far is an accomplishment and I just need to own it and be proud of myself......

Good job! You are doing great!!! You should be so proud of your accomplishments.
Kerrin,
I think a lot of us have this, just some of us don't admit it. I'll be honest, sometimes when I lose only a lb or 2 I think wow I'm a big guy, I deserve to lose it faster. Sometimes for me it doesn't seem FAIR! The point is it is reality, and your body will allow you to lose it when it is ready. Keep plugging away, and continue your journey, and you will be at your goal weight before you know it. Kerrin just keep in mind you are still a LOSER and not a GAINER! I try to always look at the upside! BTW I lost 1.2 lbs this week!
