'I've ONLY lost....'

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

Okay, I'm going to rant for a moment. Pardon me.

Weight loss is 1/2 physical, 1/2 mind game (possibly even more mind game) by my best semi-educated guess. As I read these posts I cringe on a daily basis. 'I'm 3 weeks out and I've only lost 20 pounds'. 'I'm six weeks out and I've only list 30 pounds'.

Please please please Celebrate your successes. Be proud of what you've accomplished!!!! You've lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks or 30 pounds in 6 weeks or 5 pounds in a month!!! Embrace what you've done! Stop beating yourselves up with when you don't reAch an unrealistic goal. WE ARE DOING FABULOUS!!!!!

Rant off

Guilty I said that but I also said "I think its almost better too lose slow then fast. I really do".

Now if I only lose 5 pounds a month at the beginning i will be upset because is that is not what I signed up for. And actually that is why I told to do this instead of the LapBand.
