Stuck

There isn’t going to be a video this week.

Apologies to those who are expecting one. I am at a stand still. I am seriously stuck dead stopped in the whole weight loss journey.

There is really nothing to say on a video that can’t be said right here.

So, nothing lost; possibly something gained. There it is.

There.
it.
is.

I’m still processing the whole “why” of it. I haven’t given up. I’m just (as all real people are) discouraged that during the times in my life when I’ve had much weight to lose, it has been relatively easy to discipline myself. During the times (now) that I have much less (15 pounds still), the discipline is much more difficult.

So I am still trying, but I just don’t know if I am ready to face all of you on a video to say this. How much easier it is to type it than say it!

So don’t totally give up on me. I am still working hard at it (I’ve ran 12 miles over the past two days). I just can’t do a video this week.

I feel stuck.

    Sarah. I know just where you are. I know you know that, but sometimes it helps to hear it again. I’m not sure if this is good news or bad news (I was “stuck” or in a plateau for 4-5 weeks and it just stunk to high heaven and it was one of the most difficult and discouraging times in my life. That may sound like I’m being dramatic, but I’m not. It was TOUGH and disheartening and all those yucky words. Hang in there. I kept telling myself that eventually if I was doing the right things it had to work and eventually it did. I’ve been unstuck for several weeks now. It’s still not coming off fast, but it is coming off steady. Love ya! Rooting for ya!

    Sarah, your candidness with the entire Internet is both sincere and refreshing.

    You are never one to give up and I love that about you.

    Sarah-
    First…I hear you. I’m currently ‘stuck’ and have been stuck for 3 weeks, but I’m still tredging along. As I walk that last mile, I keep telling myself that soon I’ll start the downward slope of the plateau. Keep it up!

    Second…what a wonderful post from your hubby. I had to say a little ‘awe’ and smile when I read it.
