stop looking at the scale every day. Look every other day and only once. I did this in the beginning. Look after you wake up or right after a shower.

your going to hit many stalls during the weight loss process. I've hit probably 4. Right now its a slow weight loss, very slow.

the cravings slowly go away but will probably never fully subside. You gotta get it in your head that you can't eat that stuff no more.
