Thumbs down Sadness

I went to the nutritionist today for my monthly weigh in and I am very disappointed. I did not lose not one pound!!!! Yes I stayed the same and I should be happy but all I want to do right now is to dive into a carton of Ben and Jerry's!!! The nutritionist said that although I didn't lose anything maybe I was gaining muscle and so my body was adjusting. How long does my body need to adjust I workout like a maniac. She told me to switch my workout like take yoga, pilates, a dance class, anything to shock the body into losing again. Also I was eating too many carbs. Did you know that a multigrain bagel from Dunkin Donuts is 75g of carbs? It is like eating 5 slices of bread.
She also said my skin looks better and my faec is thinner than when I first came to her but still, it doesn't comfort me.....So what !I am a fat chick with good skin great!
Then at the end of our visit she said my supplemental insurance only covers 3 visits and today was visit number 3! I am not happy. I just want to crawl into a hole....it could be worse but this is what always happens and then I fall off. Please don't let me fall off....I think I need a smack in the face to stop freaking out.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Girl, you can do this! How do your clothes feel? Before you went to her and saw a number on the scale, how did you feel physically? She gave you some pointers to help and you are doing such a wonderful job! You can do this!!!!!!!!

Your not falling off honey. Your body is catching up with what your doing to it. Im sure alot of people will tell you that. Yes on the carb load in food. That is why you will always here me say make sure its fresh food. You can still eat out and get fresh food but you have to watch the choices. When you work out you will gain muscle. I mean look at the people that do it daily. We are here for ya honey. Keep going at it .

Listen to your nut, she has given you tons of complements. She didn't knock you down for not losing, did she? She encouraged you and gave you some wonderful pointers. That shows that she trusts that you can do it.
Trust yourself that you can do it, too. This is very very important. That no matter how hare it is, you will eventually get to where you must.
I bet that's why your trainer pushes you, too. She knows that you can do it, you have that light and ability inside, just begging to get noticed, and be helped to shine.
Keep in mind that it will be harder for you to see your physical changes, than it is for others. Your family may not say anything, but that is because they see you daily, so it is as hard for them to see the changes as it is for you.
As everyone says, how are your clothes? Building muscles means shrinking sizes. The scale is not the only parameter. Clothes and measurements are other things to go by.

Didn't you say you wanted to get on a plane, sit in comfort, and visit your family in Egypt? You know you can do this. Thow out all the negative thoughts, and open your doors to the compliments and the postive thoughts.

((((((((HUGS))))))))
