And... We're Back!

     Hello everyone! After a 3 1/2 week plateau, I'm happy to report that I've finally passed it on Friday and am starting to lose again. I'm so glad I didn't give up! Even though I was really discouraged, I wasn't willing to give up what I had already accomplished. This goes to show that having patience with yourself is key, and that it will definitely pay off! I'm losing more slowly before and little by little, but after being stuck for so long, even a tenth of a pound is exciting. :)
     Over the past few weeks, I've also learned that your attitude really does affect your outcome. The phrase "mind over matter" is not some crazy theory that doesn't actually work. It is truth. As I was getting discouraged and started to believe that I might not be able to lose any more, the harder it was to break. On the other hand, the second I took a good look and told myself that I could and would, I did! If you truly believe in yourself and tell yourself you can accomplish something, there will be nothing that can stop you. Be strong. Be determined. Remember when you started and what motivated you to make that decision. DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR FUTURE HAPPINESS BECAUSE IT IS HARD RIGHT NOW. Try to see the big picture, and ask for help. Pray for guidance and strength. Your body is a temple, and temples are sacred. Take care of it, and it will take care of you.
