I want to lose a lot of weight every week...why is this not happening?!
I worked out a lot last week. I ate right last week. I lost half a pound last week.
To quote my ever-supportive husband - "it's a marathon, not a sprint". OK, but it's not fair! I eat great. Well, except for Saturday night at the hockey game when I had a big pretzel, popcorn and 4 bites of pizza. But should one little night of fun lead to such a small weight loss? I worked out extra hard on the weekend so I could indulge a little. Okay, so I also had a couple of glasses of wine and maybe a martini, but come on!
Let me check....okay, my rant is over. I am intelligent enough to realize I am doing well. I have lost 13.2 lbs. in 5 weeks which is fantastic. There are ten weeks left in this competition and I'm in it for the long haul.
I want very badly, however, to get under 150 lbs. I am currently at 151.6. I know it's a psychological thing, but I won't be truly satisfied with my effort until I reach that goal.
Why does trying to lose weight drive so many of us mad?

I won't be happy until I'm in the 170s. I'm 183.6 at the moment.
Dammit.
But...you're doing just fine. Words of wisdom by the Divine Mister Craig.
It's a marathon. Not a sprint.
Kudos to you for working out like a trooper! And - perhaps you gained a bit of muscle...which weighs more than that fat-stuff we're trying to ditch!
