I know that the weight will come off if I persist...but I'm discouraged.

O.K. I'm trying not to get depressed about only losing 4 pounds in a week. I mean, 4 pounds is something. It's better than mothing or even just a couple pounds. I really want to lose at least 20 pounds this month. I'm starting to wonder if it's going to be possible.

I still want to exercise too, because I want to exercise after the fast. I wanted to get started on the habit of exercise, as it will be an important part of maintaining ANY weight loss. If I just fast for a month or so and then I start exercising, it's going to be hard to stay motivated, for me anyway.

I really think that it's got something to do with water retention and my menstrual cycle. I seem to remember my weight loss stalling every month and then I would loss a good amount of weight. I finally connected it to my cycle, well I guessed that's what it was. I'm no scientist, so I don't know for sure.

Anyway, I'm just writing to "talk out" my feelings. I feel a little better. I'm just feeling so blah and yucky, part of it is the weather (cold and rainy, with some sleet!) and part of it is situational. Oh well.

More later,

starry
