I Needed A Reminder;(

I have read so many posts and blogs about stalls. I promised myself not to panic when I got to that point. I have been stuck at 277.3lbs for a solid two weeks. I know it's not because I did something wrong, or because the sleeve is not working. After being on this site for so long, I know it is a natural/normal part of the journey. I stayed off the scale and kept my eating and exercise routine the same. But this morning I got on the scale. I gained ONE pound!! 278.4 The sight of the number took my breath away, and the taste of disappointment stayed with me all day. So I came home and took a picture so I could remind myself that I am doing ok. I needed to put my demons to sleep and realized this is all part of the journey. I am not failing. The sleeve is not failing. Life is beautiful and victory is mine :)

    I am currently in a stall right now. Im stuck at 338. been in this stall for about 3 weeks now. I would not worry, stay positive because it will pass. Here is an inspirational quote "Now we are the masters of our fate.That the task that which has been set us is not above our strength.That its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance.As long as we have faith in our cause ,And unconquerable will power , salvation will not be denied us!"- Winston Churchill
