I've been stepping on the scale every single day and my weight won't go below 140...it fluctuates between 140-143, no matter HOW diligent I am with my meals every day. I have stayed on a strict 1200 calorie diet (I eat whatever I want, but limit myself to 1200...I can either eat one shitty meal or a few healthy ones...which choice do you think I make? Healthy, of course!), and I have felt pretty down on myself because I feel like I've hit a brick wall and can't get through it.
I went home about a week ago, and people I haven't seen in months have told me that I look great, ask me if I've been losing weight, and calling me "skinny" ... maybe the scale doesn't matter as much as I thought? I know I have a long way to go still, because I am still not happy with the way I look (though I noticed some changes myself) . . . but coming home and having everyone praise my accomplishments was exactly what my soul needed. It motivated me to keep going, to not give up, and to work even harder. I am going to try to exercise a lot more, because I think that will be the thing to get me over my "hump" haha.
Sometimes, all you need is a few kind words to fuel your goals' fire. :) Thank you! <3
