Stall has passed!

Considering as much *****ing as I have done on this forum about my weight loss stall, figured it was only fair to let everyone know I have started losing again :)  Not super fast like before, but definitely a slow decline. 

I thought I had mentally prepared myself for this phenomenon.  I knew these were common occurrences and that any reasonable person wouldn't let it bother them.  Riiiiight.

I definitely got my crazy on, at least at first.  Then, I started feeling like an idiot for worrying about it - and started to beat myself up about that... wow, those self-destructive tendencies have a way of creeping up on you, don't they?

Eventually, I did what I always do... I found a way to laugh about it.  I can't say I have emerged from the experience unscathed... I let a few undesirable habits and thoughts back in - BUT I see them for what they are, which makes me better equipped to banish them (again).

So, for those of you who are (or will be) facing down the scale demon:

1 - The goal is a healthy lifestyle, not a number on the scale- keep your head in the game and focus

2 - When faced with adversity, you WILL find yourself being drawn to the things that you find comfort in, and (just a wild guess here) those are probably not healthy foods.  It has nothing to do with strength of character, will power or anything else.  YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON because you are tempted.  You aren't even a bad person if you give in.  You are just a person. 

3 - Remember, life IS FUNNY... really, it is... it's just that sometimes you aren't in on the joke yet.  To laugh is to love - so laugh at yourself, and love yourself.

Tannk you for those wonderful words!!  I do love your post!!  I too am just about the same as you.....trying to  back down that demon myself!!  I get mad and let carbs in which totally defeats the purpose!!  Why do I do that!!

If a stall stops, has it started?

:)

Love it!!!

Good post, hope you lose a bunch now.
