Fat Smash Diet: Day 47

So, it has been 47 days for Dr. Ian's fat smash diet. It has been going pretty well. I have hit some crossroads and it makes me not so happy.Last Thursday, I went to the doctor. They weighed me, and it said I had gained 2 pounds. Immediately I got upset. As soon as I got home, I took off all of my clothes and weighed myself. I had actually LOST 3 pounds. I had the biggest smile on my face. I had panicked. I'm like I can't go backwards, I've been doing so good. So, I was like well, I am going to just weigh myself again on Monday, because I am supposed to start phase 3. Monday came, and well, u know that time of the month for women did as well. So, I wasn't going to weigh myself being all bloated. So, I decided to wait until it was over. Well, that day came and I was like, I am just going to weigh myself Monday, and then if I have lost more weight, I will begin phase 3. Simple enough, right? Well, I got on the scale, and I had GAINED a pound. I got on that scale 3 times to make sure. If you could have seen the look on my face. I was in shock. For the life of me, I can't figure out where I went wrong.

I had to really stop and think, like what did I do wrong? I hadn't cheated. I had been eating what I was supposed to eat. Then I realized, I really hadn't. I had gone back to my old ways of eating only around twice a day, if that. I hadn't really been doing the portion control like I was supposed. I was still exercising the same way though. So, it was like my body was retreating. Last week, I really just didn't have the energy. I also started BC, so that may have been a factor as well. For about 10 minutes, I let it get to me. Instead of thinking about what could have caused this and possibly changing it, I felt like I had let myself down. I wasn't even going to blog about it. I'm like, "No, I just don't feel right." I had to really pray about it and not let it get to me. I had to realize, in less than 2 months, I have lost a total of 23 pounds, which is a major feat. I've been doing really well, and I can't let the fact that I have gained 1 pound set me back. I panicked like I had gained 5. I can lose that pound in a day. I just think at that moment, it kind of hurt, because I had been doing everything right.

Now, I just have to get back on it. I am going to prolong going on phase 3 for another week. I am going to detox until I lose another 2 pounds, then continue on phase 2. Then next week, I will begin phase 3. Just pray for me guys. I can honestly say, this is one of the hardest things I've done. Like this past week was HARD on me. All I kept thinking about was how hungry I was, and how I was tired of eating grilled chicken and vegetables. I wanted pizza, and cookies, and ice cream, and a chicken sandwich and tater tots from Sonic! I was craving for my old life when I could have these however and whenever I wanted them. Then I had to think of the alternative, did I want to go back to my old body? I SEE the results of the 23 pound lost. I put on a pair of shorts the other day that used to be TIGHT! So tight, I could barely get them up my thighs. I put them on, and they went up smoothly and were actually kind of falling off. I was like, wow! Before, I couldn't really see the change. I feel like I look the same, but anyone who sees me can tell. I'm just praying that this week is better and I get back on track. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I just gotta pump my arms faster and get these legs to running faster! Pray for me guys!!!
