Stuck, but I'm OK with it! :)

Well, tomorrow begins my 4th week of induction. I never thought I could do it! I was exited to do my weekly weigh in, but when I stepped on the scale, I discovered that I have not lost ANYHING this week. How disappointing is that!?!? I was going to feel bad, sulk, and all that. Then I looked in the mirror. My complexion is clearer than it has been in ages. I don't WANT chocolate. I am OK with this. I read about the whooshes, and I expect one soon. I don't even use the Ketostix any more. I think I have really settled into this lifestyle. I went to a birthday party for my daughter's friend yesterday, and I didn't need three pieces of cake. I ate friggin' celery sticks and was only mildly annoyed. I know my body can't hold on to this weight forever. I mean, I went from 5 Pepsis a day to 5 bottles of water. That alone will work in time, I know this. I am sticking to this. My fat is trying to trick me into letting it stay around, and it is NOT going to win. Can I get an AMEN??

Well done! Your attitude change is half the battle in itself, and even though the scale isnt moving, perhaps you're losing inches?

Great post!!! Losing weight is only one great positive with going low-carb.
You will lose - no doubt about it. It is quite normal to have a pause following the first weeks of induction.
