Week Two: You're Feeling...

In high school I read this Shape Magazine article about starting a fitness plan... it outlined how a dieter feels when making changes: "Day One: You're psyched... Day Three: You Feel Committed..." Somewhere down the line it said something like "You're Feeling Frustrated; all this work, and still nothing!" 

With hypothyroidism it's like I'm stuck in that frustrated phase;  I'm working very hard, using tons of self-control, and the scale doesn't move.  At... All...  But exercise, healthy foods, and self-control are three things that lead to lots of positives, even if weight loss doesn't get to be one of them.  Yet I am so tired of seeing my reflection in store windows!  The weight sits so stubbornly, like 'haha, I'm still here'  Whatever. I'm going to spend the whole summer fighting it nonetheless, because I crave those healthier habits. And I'll consider any pound lost to be a major victory. Pep Talk Complete.
