I haven't been posting because I haven't been losing lately. The plateau has been dragging on, turning into a gain of about 12 pounds at its worst. The last three weeks I've been losing tiny bits, so I'm allowing myself to be a tiny bit hopeful again.
The frustration of not losing has turned into slacking, meaning I don't lose because I'm not doing what I need to do. So I'm trying to rededicate myself to the cause. Not least because I'm now on a water pill for the high blood pressure (this is only the second day of taking it, so I don't think I can attribute this week's loss to just water), and an anti-depressant for menopausal issues. The good thing about being on an anti-depressant is that it seems to have helped kill my hunger a bit. The bad thing is that a lot of drugs can make one bloat, but then the water pill should help keep that to a minimum--I hope.
I'm also renewing my determination to journal my eating with the Weight Watchers tracking system, and going back to serious exercising. If I'm lucky, my body will think I'm starting from scratch and respond the way I want it to, instead of being stubborn and annoying.
