Still living in the stall....

October 21, 2007
Today's Weight: 280.0 lbs

I'm still plugging along. I haven't been posting because frankly, nothing new is going on. I did have an AMAZING burst of energy last night. It was wonderful. I danced, I cleaned, I felt euphoric and energetic. I had thought perhaps this might signal a change on the scale today, but alas, it did not.

So I don't know what is going on. I do know that it is typical to experience a post-induction stall and I believe I mentioned this in my previous post. Perhaps my body is going on past experience and truly believes I will go back to my high carb-sugar loving days anyday now. Perhaps it wants to take a "wait and see" approach before letting go of a few more pounds. I can understand that. It's like a battle of wills with my body...to see who will cave first. Will it make adjustments and give up the flab, or will the scale taunt me enough to make me cry "uncle!" and dive head first into the Krispy Kremes.

Well I'm telling you this now, my dear body: I am not giving up. This is a lifestyle change for me. Even if I don't shed a single pound from now until Christmas, I WILL NOT GIVE UP. Because this way of eating makes me feel happy, energetic, satiated, and in-control.

So there.
