[5] I Am Stronger Than My Insecurities

I need to get somebody to hide my scale because I'm becoming obsessive, checking it every time I walk by it (it's in the bathroom). My "week 3 stall" occurred two and a half weeks ago and still, the scale won't budge. I've been busting my ass at the gym, drinking all my water, taking in 75-80g of protein--all seemingly to no avail.

 

I'm sitting here with every muscle in my body just begging to not hurt anymore--a constant reminder of the hard work I'm putting in at the gym to make the scale move. Now that I've worked so hard to make the scale budge, I feel so much pressure for it to, or it must mean I've failed. Can anyone 'fail' the sleeve? The thought that I'd be the one in a million people who fail it creeps in my head.

 

I've stayed so level headed about it so far, but now I find it's easier for these negative thoughts to creep into my head. I'm trying my best to filter the thoughts. The scale will move, eventually. Hang in there.

 

I need to be stronger than my insecurities, now more than ever.

Do me a favor? Get someone to hide your scale. Then go measure yourself. Naked, measure the neck/arms/bust/belly/thighs, every inch. Write it down for reference. Keep doing what you know are 'the rules" and working out/etc. In 2 or 3 weeks, weigh yourself ONCE. Do NOT obsess. In 4 weeks, measure yourself naked again and compare. Add up the difference in all of the inches, then look at the total inches you have lost. You will be happily surprised. Now relax. It will happen. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimmmming, swimmmmming (hello? finding nemo/dory)
