What have I learned???

I have come to the end of the 7 day sugar detox/kick start/reset and I have learned a few things.

  • I only need to do 3-4 days of liquids to get the weight loss moving.  This is not the first reset I've done to break a stall and both times the scale started moving around day 3/4.
  • I was never as mentally prepared to deal with stalls as I thought I was.  Although I know that stalls and even plateaus are normal and to be expected, I continue to want that fast weight loss.
  • I have not gotten past the "diet" mentality.  I thought having the sleeve would equate to steady weight loss and I would not have to "diet."  Wrong, I still want to manipulate my body into dropping the pounds on a schedule.
  • At 11 months out, I still have to consciously think about and plan all of my meals.  If I don't, I skip meals (just like I did early on) and that's not good.  Will I ever be "normal" again?
  • I am getting healthier and for that I should be grateful, but I'm still fixated on the scale numbers.
I also saw something this morning while doing my June Challenges.  I saw definition in my stomach.  Now don't get me wrong, I am a loooooonnngggg way away from a 6-pack.  However, while trying not to fall off the ball while doing sit ups, I took a peek at my stomach and there was a definite definition that I have not noticed before.  WOOT!
