Stuck

Week 8
Pounds lost - 9.5

Hello everyone. Sorry I've been away so long. I didn't have much progress to report this week, and life gets in the way. You know how it goes. Anyway, I had to take a minute to update everyone. Although I've been stuck at 9.5 pounds for over a week now, I'm happy to report that yesterday I had to go shopping for some new jeans and I bought a size 14! I haven't been in a size 14 since before I was married! I've also gone down two more holes in my belt. So I know that although I haven't seen the scale move lately, SOMETHING is going on! It seems like this time last month I had the same problem. It must be cyclical. But this time I didn't freak out when the scale didn't go down, I just kept doing my thing. I also learned the importance of giving in to cravings from time to time (within reason). I had been craving a quarter pounder with cheese all week almost to the point of being obsessed. I finally worked it into my daily calorie count one day and splurged the burger and a small french fry. I ended up in the bed with a stomach ache - craving cured.
