I stopped losing so I turned into a cow

[Willo21]

I was doing so well for the first 3 weeks, then I got stuck at my current weight.
I feel like I've committed a murder or something.
I have a friend who's not really supporting me going low carb. Well, shes all "oh good for you" but then when we hangout out she wants to go out to eat (Chinese food/Mcdonalds etc). And finally yesterday I gave in and ate ice cream and a whole bunch of junk I never should have eaten.
The whole time I felt terrible eating it but I didn't stop.
Now im just scared all my weights going to come back....
....but if it doesnt, how am I supposed to break this effing plateau???
I really need to lose weight by August, and I just feel like I won't make it- and that thought just makes me sick to my stomach.

Get right back on the horse and stop feeling guilty because it will just push you to keep eating badly. Whenever you feel like you have stopped losing do the following:
A) Measure yourself.
B) Stop looking at the scale for a week and then check it out.

I bet if you do that then you will see that you are still losing and it will help keep you from saying "Eff it all! It's not working so I'm going to eat this junk!"

Also, I know all about friends like that. LOL... My best friend came for a week long visit and all he could talk about was food that I couldn't eat. All three of my cheats have actually happened because of the friends that have been around me during that time.

Good luck with your continued success and please don't be too hard on yourself!!

This is probably one of my favorite blogs. Do you remember how long it took you to gain your weight? It probably wasn't something you ate in one day - probably not something you ate in a week. If you're anything like me, it was from an extended period of over-indulgence. Before I knew it, 10 years and 70 pounds heavier. The good news is that it isn't taking nearly that long to lose - for me, 26 pounds in 3 months. Look at all of the success stories on ADBB. Stick with it - you really can do it too - it is a marathon, not a sprint. Good luck!!
