My last day of the starvation mode

[MidwestGirl]

of SBD was yesterday ;D Okay not really starvation but hey If I can't have bread that's how I felt!!

Well I am bummed. I only lost 3lbs > I am really discouraged right now...I even caved and had a piece of apple cinnamon bread last night. :-\ I already had my egg bfast for today so I am hoping to continue and end up with some results. I need some support for sure and I need to EXERCISE.

1) Three pounds is a damned good start!! Don't discount your early success. I averaged two lbs a week (except for recently, when I've been in stall-ville); more than that was cause for confetti and dancing!

2) The purge is re-setting your body chemistry for good things to happen later. BE PATIENT! And hang in there. You're body is building a platform (more efficient use of cals; more even distributions of insulin to process sugars; etc.) from which weight loss will come.

Don't lose hope yet. You've done the tough-stuff. The drop of the needle of the scale is coming. Wait for it!

Thanks for the encouragement...I sure needed to hear that!!

I will stay the course ;D

You're past the worst part, hang in there! 3 pounds is a good start.

I agree with Dan!!

Linda's right, you're past the worst part and 3lbs is a very good start!!

a loss is a loss.

I'm only 5 days into the SB and still haven't lost an ounce, so I think 3 lbs is great and hope I can do as well!! How's it been going since??
