Week 13 Weight Stagnation

Over the last two and a half weeks my weight has only dropped by a few hundred grams.  This has been a bit frustrating and a bit disheartening.

But I am not actually surprised when I think of what has been going on over the last few weeks.  And I think I know what the problem is.  Sugar.  Good old empty calories.

For the past few weeks I have been craving sugar and I have have been satisfying this craving with all sorts of sweet treats.  Now for me this is quite unusual as I do not have a sweet tooth.  In fact I am all about the savoury foods.

But none the less I have been snacking on sweet biscuits, cake, and the odd bit of chocolate.  And all those empty calories is what I think has halted my weight loss.  That and the fact that I have not done any exercise for the past few weeks.
This just goes to show that the sleeve is a tool for weight loss not the ultimate solution.  If you eat junk and do no exercise then you will not loose weight.  Full stop.

So tomorrow is a new day and I am determined to make sure I am not filling up on empty calories or sugary foods.
Now doesn't that sound just like something you would say when on a diet....

Well the reality is that even with a sleeve it matters what you put in your mouth.

I really appreciate any comments you take the time to leave. Feel free to ask questions.
