Everyone who has ever attempted to diet understands the title of this post. As hard as you work, as mentally tough as you are, it is difficult to avoid a plateau. Unfortunately, like many others, I could not avoid it. I began my lifestyle change on a rapid pace. I was eating much less, trying to exercise, and I was getting the results that I had hope for. I began on January 7th and by March 23rd I had dropped 35lbs.
I was happy with the progress and got complacent. I was lazy and felt like I deserved to eat a little more food. I have still maintained a smaller portion size and cut out full calorie pop, but that isn't enough. I have not been exercising, eating more junk, and slowly reverting back to my old ways.
Today this must change. I need to get back to logging in my food diary, exercising every day, and living a healthier life. If this happen, I can reach my goal of 75lbs lost by August. I am ready to dominate!
