There is so much happening in your life already, please don't worry about weight loss or the absence of it. You are learning a new way of eating. You are saying goodbye to an old way of eating. You are learning to think and do positive things. You are learning to let go of and say goodbye to negative things. That's a lot to keep your mind busy, you don't need the extra burden of having to get instant results. You have to focus on making changes you can live with for the rest of your life. I honestly think that one of the best things I did for myself when I started to change my diet was to not worry at all about weight loss. I knew the loss would come if I could learn to eat healthy, so that is what I focused all my energy on.MSMLS wrote:I was very frustrated at a lack of weight loss initially. But, it seems to have come around. I'm not losing as fast as I'd like, but that's okay. It's my own fault and I must be patient as my body readjusts and sheds this extra baggage and protection I've created for myself.

I get to put this barrier up as a reason people treat me the way they might. I have this protection to give me an excuse not to do things I might be uncomfortable with. I am ready to take it off and live life on my own now. I don't need this protectionism anymore.
