I Hate Those - I lost 40 lbs in a Month - Articles!

I just read an article where a woman claimed to have lost 40 lbs in one month simply by replacing the soda she drank constantly with water, eating no breakfast, a reasonable lunch and a light dinner. WOW! That doesn't happen to everyone and I doubt if that would ever happen to me. In fact, she said she ate Ramen Noodles for dinner.

Another thing she mentioned was that she didn't exercise one bit, snacked sometimes and had soda like once a week as a reward. O.K. does this sound crazy? Does this sound like something of a farce? Truly, I don't know her for beans and I can't say what she claims is absolutely impossible, but I hate reading articles like that.

They make me feel like I must be doing something wrong. They can make a person who has been at it, trying to lose weight for almost three months and struggling, feel like a failure or something. Whatever!

I'll try not to be a hater here, but at the same time, this post is to encourage those of you who don't see results like that. This post is to let you know that you're not alone and that your struggles are worth it. This post is for those of you who step on the scale every day or every other day and see that you've actually gained a pound even though you did everything right and should have lost a pound or TWO.

Don't sweat it! You'll get to your goal and you'll be healthy too. I'm encouraging a little exercise this week. That's what my goal is. What's yours?
