Plateau!

So I didn't lose any weight this week. Major bum! But I'm not discourged.
In the past, when I went to Weight Watchers, if I didn't lose weight when I PAID to weigh in and be bummed out I would immeidately put on the failure face and go out after the meeting and eat something ridiculously high in fat and calories, figuring, well, I didn't lose anything anyway, so why not.
I'll tell you why not : because that is the most self defeating thing you can do when trying to lose weight. And that's one of the reasons I was never able to keep anything off for very long. Like I've said before, failure becomes a familiar friend after a while and the shame factor associated with it seems to dissipate.
But not anymore. Failure now is just that: failure.
Now, I have the tools and knowledge to counterattact this plateau. I know if I bump up the exercise, the fiber, the good food and the water, I will definitely show a negative number next weigh in. So that's my plan. Last week I exercised 4 days. Most of it was arm work and treadmill. This week I plan on working out a minimum of 5 days, with more attention to cardio and fat burning - so not just the treadmill. I also slacked off a little in the water imbibing department and have been drinking a lot of diet soda - my addiction!. This week I am scaling that back and drinking more good old fashioned H20. Less salt in ech glass and no bloating effect.
I'm going to conintue with my FATLOSSPLATEs for the three meals a day and snacks, so I know I'll be okay in the hunger department.
The biggest motivator so far though, has been this blog. With eyes watching me closely I am determined to acheive my goal. It's no longer okay to fail myself. I also don't want to fail any of my "followers."
Pray for me!
