Beth, I am by no means an expert in weight loss but I do see some real wisdom and increased understanding about how you need to tackle this challenge personally reflected in today's post. The fact that you are analyzing your thought process, sticking to overall healthy eating and exercising despite not having immediate large weight losses is a really good sign that you will achieve long term success. Even during weeks that there isn't a huge change in the scale numbers, you are still becoming more used to the healthy habits that will optimize your health. You've mentioned your DH, family and friends. All of those people will be so glad to have a healthier Beth to cherish for as many years as possible. It's all very nice to have a slimmer body but IMHO that slimmer body needs to be the result of good MENTAL and PHYSICAL health which you are CLEARLY developing. You aren't a rookie to this weight loss thing and your thinking clearly shows a mature and thoughtful approach. You haven't used the slower than desired loss as an excuse to quit. Don't forget that the 15/50 pounds you have lost is a real achievement! As far as the insatiable hunger last week, the "ahem" other reasons would account for that and that is totally normal for women. You already know that but I'm affirming that you aren't weak for eating extra - just normal! I hope that you have a really wonderful week.
