As always, I've been extremely slow in loosing, even that one pound a week goal now seems to be too much! At my one-month mark I've only lost 3 lbs. (instead of 5) and I've been stuck at the very same mark for over three weeks! It's easy to get discouraged and give up - going back to "normal" eating - but I keep on keeping on, believing there's got to be a break-through any day. I guess it's like a sales person going door-to-door and believing the very next door knocked on is going to be the one where a sale will be made! Every day I get up believing this could be the day I see a drop! I'm really needing a boost to keep believing tho'. I've met another SP who lives just a couple of blocks away and she's been a great encourager and full of energy! So that is a real plus right now.
