It Had To Happen

It had to happen sooner or later, but I don't like it

I have hit my first weight loss plateau. After a rapid 52 pound loss my body has said enough is enough. I was warned about it. I've read about it, and still I'm a little surprised and disappointed. I was hoping to keep losing at ten pounds a week until I hit my goal weight, but that's not realistic.

The body is an amazing thing. My body thinks it is starving, so it's going to hang onto every ounce it can; in spite of my 800 calorie per day diet. And, it does this without consulting me!

I'm told in a week or two my body will give in and I'll start dropping weight again. In the meantime, I stick to the plan. Tonight was a vigorous workout at the gym and two thirds of a soft taco.
