I stand on the scales every Sunday and now for a couple of weeks I’ve been preparing myself. I’ve been thinking: ‘I must have put on weight.’ Since I’ve been stuck for so long, I’d stopped believing in my method, in myself, if you like. I felt like a sportswoman without her motivation coach (is there such a thing?), mental trainer or whatever it’s called. When you don’t believe in anything anymore, it’s hard to stick to anything.
Last night I ‘knew’ that I’d put on weight, but how wrong I was. I’d finally left my ‘plateau’ and continued on the way down without really noticing. One kilo down. It feels great. Now I’m going to celebrate by going for a walk in the sunshine, bring my little keeshond and take lots of pics. I’ve reached my partial goal. Wish me luck for the next one.

For weeks now, my weight as remained the same. I know that you usually get to a plateau, but it’s been so long now. I really want to continue losing weight and soon. I’ll see what happens on Sunday. By then, hopefully, something will have changed.
I still believe in my method, but I still need to do more. Change something so I’ll start losing weight again. First of all I need to understand why it’s stopped working, if that’s what’s happened. I still hope it’s just a temporary setback and that I’ll start losing weight rapidly. 
I know that for a while now, I haven’t been strict enough. I used to go for walks every day and now I sometimes skip one. I know I shouldn’t do that. *Note to self: don’t skip daily walk.* In addition, I’ve stopped being strict about mealtimes. At times I might add an extra snack, just because I’ve lost count and forget I’ve already had the meals I’m allowed each day. I really need to get a grip.
Ok, what else has might have gone wrong? I’m depressed again. It’s always had a detrimental effect on my weight. That’s another thing I knew but it had slipped my mind. What I didn’t know is that my medication lowers the metabolism, so I have to work even harder. *Sigh*.
At the moment things are a bit rough. If anyone has any tips for how I can raise my metabolism, I’d be grateful.
