This is my Life ...

Personal trials and tribulations of a Government Slave

I'm Getting Pretty Upset.

I guess I should be happy that I am still on the losing side but this losing 1 pound at a time is really wearing on my nerves.

The first few weeks I was dropping tons in chunks. From one week to the next, WHAM - 13 to 20 pounds GONE.

And now, I'm lucky if I lose a pound in one week and there have been some weeks where there was weight gain (by a pound or two). But still, it really fries my chicken to step up on that scale, and to see that those numbers don't go much further then a pound or two.

For a minute of two I make myself belive that since I have increased by exercising, I am building some muscle, hence the stagnated weight loss - but still, I want to see those number going down, down, down, down. Not just sitting there, looking back at me with their menacing stare. I can feel them mocking me, saying, "HA HA you fat bastard."

Then I run the risk of falling into the trap that a lot of people fall into - weighing in too often. But damn-it, I wanna see those numbers go down!

okay. forget the scales. they are an evil, evil man made apparatus, designed to keep weightloss companies in the money! unless your a professional sportperson, dancer or going to star in Ally Mcbeal, i guessing being weight obssessed is not a necessity. having got that mini rant of my chest - sorry - there are a few reasons why your weight may have plateaued. 1. you have reached your natural weight. 2. your body has adapted to your training routine - the body needs to be challenged regularly to change. 3. you need to rest. the body needs time to change. a lot of people make the mistake of training MORE when they see results and never allow the body to change. these are just a few of the reasons that could be impeding your weightloss progress. try looking in the mirror more than stepping on the scales - this how bodybuilders work - it will give you a better appreciation of your physique. i hope this helps, feel free to contact me anytime and throw out the scales!
