Oh to be that poor "half-a-pound loss" that everyone seems to despise :sigh:. Go to the supermarket and pick up a pack of butter - that's what you've lost. Imagine it spread all over your stomach. Not nice, huh? But now it's gone, never to come back, and how much better is that?
I once lost a quarter of a pound. Yup, ONE-QUARTER. But I'd been for a lovely curry the weekend before WI and thoroughly enjoyed the beer with it. To see that scale barely move was, I admit it, heart-breaking - but then I realised I'd still lost. And that was a great feeling. I was still on the correct way.
A lot of my losses were like that before I got to my first target (achieved July 2009) - slow and steady. And since then, I've managed to stay around my target for the first time ever. The two have to be connected.
SW is a journey for life. I'm not worried about hitting my next target. It'll happen. And inbetween times, I can enjoy loads and loads of scrummy food. If I lose half-a-pound this week, I'll be happy.
