Hello readers,
I am still on the Weight Watchers program and so far I've been fairly successful. I am averaging about 2 pounds of weight loss per month. So in a total of five months I have lost 10 pounds. The problem is that even with the successes it's still an uphill battle. I'm not sure what it is about my body but it's determined to make this weight loss difficult. After each large loss I gain back a half pound the following week. Last week I lost 2.4 lbs and then this week I gained back 0.6 lbs. It's disappointing and discouraging.
Frankly, at times it's enough to make me want to quit. Part of me thinks that trying to lose weight the right way isn't worth it. By the right way I mean slowly and semi-steadily. I'm not sure what to do to stay motivated but I catch myself thinking maybe it's not meant to be. I realize that half a pound is nothing but I hate that this is a pattern with my body that I can't seem to shake off.
Except for a brief period of time I have always been the chubby girl and maybe that's just who I am. But I am tired of being the chubby girl and want to break this habit and make this battle a winning one. So dear readers, I need some advice. How do you break a pattern when you're not sure what's causing it and turn a struggle around?
