I will be 9 weeks post op tomorrow. In those 9 weeks I have had more stalled weeks than I have had loss weeks. I stall for 2 weeks, lose for 3 days, stall for another 2 weeks. I have been patient. I have kept the faith. I have looked on the bright side. Now I am angry and sad and despondent. I am frustrated.
I follow my plan to the letter. I do everything right. I was thin in a past life, my body knows what thin is. Why is this so hard? Why do I feel like I am pushing forward as hard as I can and yet I am still being held back? Why is it that some people seem to lose with such ease, at such a good steady pace? Why did I have to be the one who lives in almost constant stall?
I know I am always the first person to jump in and tell people not to worry about stalls. But this most recent stall of mine has broken me. I can not look down and see 280 on that scale again. I think I might set the damn scale on fire if it tells me even one more time that I am failing. This is supposed to be my honeymoon phase. This is supposed to be the time where things are easy, where weight loss is effortless. This is no honeymoon.
Now I am a hypocrite. I am sitting here letting myself get worked up over a stall.
