I'm Back

I cant believe it has almost been a MONTH since my last post!!!

I am still attending my Weight Watchers meetings regularly and exercising as usual. I hit a bit of a rough patch in the middle of October. I went on vacation for 5 days and it totally ruined my momentum. I ate poorly, drank way too much and didn't exercise while I was gone. As a result I gained around 2 lbs. I was devastated but not surprised. My vacation also broke my rhythm so to speak and it was very hard to get back into the routine of working out and eating right.
The 2 lb gain was hard to handle considering it took me about three weeks to lose those pounds prior to leaving. I am happy to report that I was able to get back on track and as a result I have lost 5lbs. I am really excited and hope I can keep up this level of loss. My progress has been so slow; it is very discouraging. I look at my goal weight and how far I have to go and it is hard to imagine that I will ever cross that bridge. I will keep on chugging along in the hopes that eventually I will lose all this weight! Ugh!

HELP

Well I knew it would happen eventually but I am surprised it took so long. I haven't posted in 3 weeks!! I'm going to contribute that fact to my struggles with losing these past weeks. I have no desire to taut my accomplishments, mainly because I don't feel that I have accomplished anything. I have lost .2 lbs three weeks in a row. WTF! I know we have a tendency to over estimate how much "work" we put into something but I think I've been working pretty hard these past weeks. I wake up at 4:00am every weekday so I can go to the gym before work. When I get home from work I spend a good hour making dinner and all my meals/snacks for the next day. I don't go over my DPT or use many of my weekly points. I just don't understand why I am not losing significant amounts of weight. I am so frustrated and I want to quit! What good is all of this work if it reaps no benefits. I am human after all. I HATE waking up so damn early, but I do it because I know I need to exercise.  I am determined to make this my last "attempt" at weight loss. I want the extra weight to be gone forever. These "setbacks" are NOT HELPING!! I am lost, I don't know what to do.
