Busting Through A Plateau

01-13-08

When I posted here about my December Doldrums last month I didn’t know the half of it – they would continue for another 3 weeks or so.  I had a tough 6 weeks but I hung in there pretty well.  This week with a 4 pound loss I can finally report a 30+ pound loss since the beginning of my Journey From Fat to Fit back in August.  I got my first unibased compliment, I’ve booked now a 31 pound loss and overall I’m feeling great.  It’s a great start to 2008!

I wish I could share with you the great secret for busting through the plateau I was on but I really can’t.  I didn’t do much differently this week that I’ve done other weeks, and in particular I barely exercised, which is not something I want to get into the habit of.  Rather I think the real key was simply to fight through the thoughts of failure and giving up while on the plateau and just have that patience for when something triggers and your body decides it’s ready to give up a little weight.

For those of you who have recommitted to your own 2008 weight loss journey – good luck, and don’t forget to share your stories.

    Well said, John. There are no easy answers to those issues. Perseverance pays off.
