[5] I Am Stronger Than My Insecurities

I need to get somebody to hide my scale because I'm becoming obsessive, checking it every time I walk by it (it's in the bathroom). My "week 3 stall" occurred two and a half weeks ago and still, the scale won't budge. I've been busting my ass at the gym, drinking all my water, taking in 75-80g of protein--all seemingly to no avail.

I'm sitting here with every muscle in my body just begging to not hurt anymore--a constant reminder of the hard work I'm putting in at the gym to make the scale move. Now that I've worked so hard to make the scale budge, I feel so much pressure for it to, or it must mean I've failed. Can anyone 'fail' the sleeve? The thought that I'd be the one in a million people who fail it creeps in my head.

I've stayed so level headed about it so far, but now I find it's easier for these negative thoughts to creep into my head. I'm trying my best to filter the thoughts. The scale will move, eventually. Hang in there.

I need to be stronger than my insecurities, now more than ever.
