Plateaus

I am at a plateau of 237 lbs.  I have been weighing this for 2 weeks.  I have been walking everyday and sticking to my low carb diet, but every morning I am still at 237 pounds!  I feel a little discouraged but I am trying to be positive and congratulate myself for the 27 pounds I am lighter.  I am in virtually every challenge, and am hoping to be at, or very close to 200 for January 1, 2009, but this plateau has been slowing me down. 

Being a diabetic, I look at the whole picture.  Yes, I am stuck at the same weight, but my blood glucose numbers are doing great, and I have dropped a size in my clothing, and I feel so much better!  It must be good as my endocrinologist went around his office telling everyone I was morphing and he called me “mildly diabetic”, and was just thrilled with my “excellent” numbers on my labs.  So, I guess if this is what it’s about being on a plateau, I surely can’t complain!!!  I have faith that if I keep doing what’s working for my health, then of course I will be weighing in one morning and the scale will actually say 236!!!!
