Leapfrog results

Haha, so you really have to persevere through plateaus! I'm so grateful to my mom for pulling me back when I was about to give up, otherwise I wouldn't have seen such great weight loss results today. The plateau is finally over, and it didn't last as long as my mom predicted. Maybe I was just lucky. A couple of days ago, when I was researching plateaus online, I saw some people complaining about being stuck in one for over a month. Compared to them, I was much luckier. But I guess they didn't push themselves as hard as I did the past few days.

The reason I'm laughing is because when I weighed myself this morning, I discovered I'd lost 1.7 pounds in just one day!! It can't be real, right?! But upon closer inspection, it's all true. Could this be a reward for those brave souls who made it through the plateau?! This is a leap forward! All those days of almost not eating or drinking weren't for nothing. It reminds me of an advertising slogan: "There's justice in the world; hard work always pays off!" Haha! I'm so happy!

Today's lunch was quite memorable because it was incredibly lavish! After battling so fiercely with the platform for the past few days, leaving me feeling completely exhausted, I only had three slices of salmon sashimi and a small portion of seaweed salad, about 50 grams – just seaweed strips and sesame seeds, so green and delicious, it really whetted my appetite. Today was a treat for myself, because I needed to recover my energy; otherwise, I really won't have the strength to exercise. And I don't want to keep feeling so nauseous and vomiting acid while swimming.

It's true that there's a difference between eating and not eating; I felt much more energetic after eating. And I didn't throw up again while swimming this afternoon. Even if I'm just letting my guard down after the crisis, I didn't push myself as hard as I did today; I went back to my previous intensity and didn't continue to torture myself.

During dinner, I sat at the table chatting with my parents. Of course, they ate while I watched. I've developed an unparalleled immunity to temptation; now, even if you tempt me with my favorite pea flour cake, I can remain unmoved. My dad, after at least 20 attempts, has declared this game of luring me out of the way no longer works, because he's never succeeded.

"Beauty has no limits, and the love of beauty has no end." I like this saying; it's well said.

In the first month, I lost 27 pounds!

Today I want to give myself a round of applause to celebrate my amazing results in the first month of my weight loss journey! I've lost 27 pounds in a month! I greedily think that if I had eaten and drunk very little from the beginning, I might have lost even more than 27 pounds by now! I wish I had started this way. But then again, weight loss is a gradual process; it can't be accomplished overnight. Now I've officially made it, and the days ahead should be much easier. At least now I have a relatively fixed schedule, meal plan, and exercise level, and the weight loss speed is relatively stable. My only hope is that I won't have so many plateaus anymore, so I can avoid having to put myself through so much trouble.

I've lost 27 pounds, so I definitely need a new swimsuit. After lunch, I went to the swimming pool a little early to buy one. The lady at the pool has become quite familiar with me since I've seen her so often over the past month. I told her I wanted to buy a new swimsuit, and she looked at me and said I'd really lost a lot of weight in the past month, no wonder my old swimsuits didn't fit anymore. Then she told me not to buy an expensive or high-quality swimsuit, because if I need to change it every month again, an expensive one would be a waste. Thinking about it, what she said made sense, so I gave up on the expensive and high-quality ones and chose a 40-yuan swimsuit, which even came with a swimming cap-a real bargain! Today, I mustered up the courage to look in the mirror in the changing room. My basic body shape is still the same as when I was eight months pregnant, but from the side, I'm noticeably thinner. If my previous thickness could be described as a bulletproof wall, then my current thickness is more like a load-bearing wall. But no matter what kind of wall it is, it's still a wall, which means I still need to lose weight. Keep going! When you have motivation, everything feels much easier. I was in a great mood the whole way while swimming and didn't feel tired at all. I don't know if it's because I've lost weight and the burden has become lighter, or if my physical fitness has improved. In any case, I had to take many fewer breaks during the swim today.

Every day is a change, and I feel like I'm getting closer to success every day. At least now I'm starting to move towards becoming a normal person. If you hear that a girl weighs 172 pounds, you might exclaim, "Wow, is she even attractive?" But if you hear that a girl weighs 145 pounds, you might say, "Hmm, she's a little chubby." So, I've "evolved."

I told my dad I was going to buy shoes tonight. My current shoes are a bit loose, probably because I wear them every day and for too long. Also, the heel height is no longer suitable for me; simply put, they're not high enough for me. My dad said it's probably because I'm too fat and have stretched the shoes out. That was a bit of a blow to my confidence, but it's okay, as long as they don't stretch out in the future.

Running is the only sport I don't plan to gradually increase the intensity of, because I've been running for a month now, and every time I reach my limit, my lungs feel like they're being torn apart with every breath. Even if I had the willpower to run for a longer period, I don't have the courage to "enjoy" the pain. So, today I'm still keeping my running time at 45 minutes to 1 hour.

I just finished doing sit-ups and am about to go to bed. I thought I'd write this down: I did 150 sit-ups tonight, not for any other reason than because I was happy!
