Are my eyes deceiving me!!! Seriously…
Ok, so I have been very faithful to my exercise and eating very well. I have seriously cut my portions down to half! I have been eating small 100-300 calorie meals every 3 hours. I feel so much better, I feel as though i’m moving around nicely. Regardless, the scale hasn’t budged much, It has not been merciful nor forgiving of anything. I have even cut out most drinks besides water, decreasing my personal daily calories by a minimum of 500!
Ok, so I decided not to worry much bout the pounds because i could be gaining some muscle. So after some weeks I took another picture and compared it last night.
…baffled…I just stared…my heart sunk…I turned off the monitor and headed to bed. Dissapointed.
I honestly thought i was doing soooo good, better than I ever had been before, more motivation, more discipline. It has been over a month, I figured something should show.
Strange thing is i can look at my body in the first person and I could swear that i see the difference.
Regardless of what has taken place, i refuse to walk by what i see, or be moved by what has not happened. I am determined to do this, and to walk by faith. I WILL MAKE IT.
I worked diligently at becoming obese, and so I will counter that work with efficiency, determination, dilligence, discipline, and a desire that nothing else in my life can match.
Even if i have to kick, scream, and cry through my workouts, I am gonna get there!

I know exactly what you are feeling. I have been doing this for over two years, and cannot get below 180. Just keep kicking and screaming.

Some of the time you feel the change before you see it. And you know… for me at least if I could just feel good about how I looked I’d be so happy. You know? Taking pride in living healthy is a good thing.

Hey, with the motivation you’ve given me I figured I’d see what you are doing and give you a bit of motivation. I have been working out pretty consistently and I gained 2lbs within the first 3-4 weeks and I was pissed. I spent so many hours at the gym for nothing, but I felt good also. So It’s like 6 weeks now and I weighed myself. I lost 12lbs. I feel great and am looking better with time. It will most likely take a while for the results to come in on the scale and it will seem like an eternity. But I go by two things, the mirror, and how I feel. That’s all you gotta do. Good luck man, push through. Your body will get stronger with suffering.
