For as long as I can remember I've been the type of person who wants instant gratification. I guess I take comfort in that I'm like most other Americans. Our society caters to my type with drive throughs, on-line ordering, and the multitude of weight loss fads. I mean I've even started placing my Sam's Club order on line and then I just go pick it up. I know people who have their groceries delivered to their houses.
Okay, the thing that made me think of writing this post was this recent plateau that I've reached with my weight loss. In the beginning of this leg of my weight loss journey I lost a significant amount of weight in the first few weeks. 17 pounds to be exact. But then I just hit this wall and despite my effort, I could not get past this point. It's easy to see why so many people fail at weight loss, myself included. Sure, I wanted to throw in the towel, but my mind automatically goes to, "then what?" After I put back on the 17 pounds and plus some most likely, then what would I do? So, I decided to persevere. I read all about plateaus and how to get past them.
In addition to Weight Watchers I added some serious exercise, which I knew I needed to do all along. This spinning class has been just awesome. I look forward to getting past this plateau and moving closer to my goal.
