My belief is that if you stall the smartest thing you can do is declare victory and maintain your weight for a few months without attempting to lose more. Make your body feel safe, so your thyroid ramps up a bit and stops worrying about the next famine.

I loved this whole post but this part especially spoke to me. I am slowly learning that being sane and not scale-obsessed and content with my eating choices is just as important to me as losing the rest of the weight is. If that means I have a half a sandwich at a company function where I'm "stuck" or I eat a piece of wedding cake on a weekend twice a year, that's fine. I'm trying to find a balance between weight loss and still living with food not freaking me out all the time. |
