total pounds lost: 19
pounds to pre-pregnancy weight: 6.4
last weekend was my first gain, which was really disheartening. it was a small gain, and i didn't track my food or eat well most of the week, but it was still frustrating. i think the honeymoon phase of this plan is over for me, although i have no intention at all of giving up. what's scary to me is that once i stop breastfeeding, i am going to lose five points a day (i currently get 29, so that's significant).
i'm also having trouble coming to terms with the fact that this has to be a life change, not a diet. even when (if) i reach my goal weight, i can never stop eating healthy. i can't just "be good" for x number of months, and then eat as much fuddrucker's as i want once i reach my goal.
i've also read recently that only about 5% of people that attempt weight loss achieve success long term. that's pretty sobering.
so, i'm feeling a little down about the whole process but i'm not going to give up.
