Medifast | Week 17

I'm going to be honest. I'm a bit disappointed today. I worked my ass of this week. My goal was to lose 1 pound. Just one measly pound. Turns out? When you've lost 24 pounds, and your 6 away from your goal, 1 pound is effing hard to lose.

And I'm evidence of that.

This morning I weighed myself desperately hoping to hit the -25 pound mark. Actually? I was way past desperate. I wanted it so bad. So, you can imagine my disappointment when I saw I had only lost .8 lbs this week. I was .2 lbs away from my goal.

I'm heartbroken.

Not because I think Medifast has failed me {by any means.} Not because I didn't work my ass off to lose that .8 lbs, but because I can't really think of what I could have done better to hit my goal. The only thing I can think of, is that it's TOM. But .2lbs? .2 away from 25. I feel so close yet so far away. To lose 25 pounds, just sounds so amazing to me. I can delete the "almost" in my answers to people when they ask me how much I've lost.

Almost 25 pounds.

And let me tell ya... as soon as I saw the number on the scale this morning, I was crushed. I desperately moved the scale all over the floor just hoping that it would change. I just wanted to see it. I wanted to see a number that I haven't seen in a long time. But alas, not today.

I know my time will come. I know it will.
