Im doing all the things

I was so excited to have lost 6 lbs the first week. But now over the last 2 weeks I’ve gone up 2lbs. I have done all the things no flour, no sugar, lots of water. Eating only healthy. 4 lbs in 3 weeks seems way too low. I am getting very discouraged. What else can I do?

Answer:

I am so glad that you brought this up. Let’s take a look at the model:
C-4 pounds down in 3 weeks
T-4 olds in 3 weeks seems way too low
F- discouraged
A- what are the actions you take when you feel discouraged? Focus on the bad? Not celebrate that you are working through sugar and refined flour withdrawals? Proud of yourself for eating healthy and honouring no sugar and flour?
R- you don’t continue to have success

What does discouraged feel like in your body?
