I have been on a plateau with my weight loss for a while now. The nutritionist that was helping me decided that she couldn't continue to help me and I was down and depressed. I have now gotten the opportunity to work with a new dietician and she is so encouraging. She told me that anyone who successfully loses weight at my size has those plateaus. She said my body felt like I was starving it and was holding onto everything and it sometimes takes 6 months or more for it to adjust. I have maintained the 80 lbs lost and that we are going to get motivated and started going forward again. I am documenting my progress with myfitnesspal.com and I am putting the physical therapy that I have just finished into play. So with the thought of going forward I am going to post some goals so I can stay accountable:
1. I plan to track my blood sugars 2 or more times a day.
2. I plan to keep track of my food and exercise everyday on myfitnesspal.com
3. I plan to keep a more positive attitude about the future and that God is helping me through this journey.
I think I have fell in love with making lists lately(lol). Anyway, this is just a little bit of what is going on and I am holding myself accountable with this blog.
