Brain Stall

So last night I think I woke up from a brain stall.

Brain Stall: A period of time where your brain stops registering your weightloss

The last few weeks I have felt like a fatty fatty two by four. I know part of the reason was I had only been losing 2lbs a week and then one pound. I was starting to feel those old helpless feelings again, the ones that plauged me in every diet I have ever attempted. I almost started to believe this was it. As of last friday, May 2nd, I had lost 56 lbs and I was 208, a weight I havent seen in 4 years. I couldn't see it. I could barely see any of my success thus far. It was disheartening,

Then last night I saw a reflextion of my self that I hadn't seen since Highschool/after my 1st year of college. Even better, I look skinnier now than I did then because all of my weightloss is in my face and waist up. It was a big lightbulb moment for me. This is working. My body dreams are coming true.
