This is so wonderful. I don't even think the skipped weeks count as long as you maintain what you lose during those times and keep going. I think when there's more weight to lose, you have to think of it in pieces or else it becomes overwhelming.
You look up the mountain and think
. But if you just say 2 pounds, okay great, 2 more, or whatever, then you creep up the mountain and look down and go wow!
I still get overwhelmed and have to remind myself of where I've come from (over 70 pounds) and where I'm still needing to go 20-25 more for my height. Now I've gotten over the speed bump but it still took time. There was a time shortly ago where I was like 10 pounds! That's all? I was starting at 219 after losing ten pounds, and thinking this is impossible, it's just not going to happen. Then I thought that's better than nothing, what if I can do 10 more, and when I did that I was like alright ten more! And then when I hit a plateau I'd get mad, but then remind myself of what I accomplished and focus on maintaining that weight loss until I was ready (if I'd fallen off) or my body (if it was just plateau) to lose even more.
I'm happy that you have lost 10 pounds and are going forward to lose even more! Before you know it, you'll be exactly where you want to be. That's what I keep telling myself and I believe it, move forward, and so it's happening. With your resolve Yodie I'm sure you're going to get to your goal fast, and I'm glad chlorella's there to help us!
