Keep It Going on a Plateau

Comment by Renee S on September 5, 2011 at 3:51pm

Today went really well until this evening and a stupid phone call sent me into a downward spiral.  I have no idea how to keep going even though it seems I may never ever lose weight again.  I feel very alone right now.

Don't feel alone. I am experiencing a stall on this journey myself. I just can't seem to break through it and it seems like I am losing the momentum. I come to BTL for support, ideas and inspiration. Knowing that I am not alone helps me. Let's cheer each other on. We can do it.

I think we have all been there before. I was there for almost 2 yrs. Then one day I woke up and something made me take a hard look at my eating habits and I realized that even though I was working out I was not eating what I should. So I decided that if i truly wanted to get to the healthy weight I craved i would have to realize what it would take and make it a priority. So far I am down 110pds. it took me almost 9 yrs but I am here and i am loving it. Things will get easier and better just have faith and some support and you will get there.

that's a great success story Nicole!

 

I think I have already done various things and made changes and have made it a priority.  But I'm actually ok now that nothing is happening with my weight - I'm going to focus on my fitness and health and let the number be secondary.

I've been on a platteau for so long now, and my batteries are drained.  I just don't know what to do to get off it.  I mean i do know what to do but can't be bothered. I really need a swift kick up the you know where!  i used to have lots of great excercise buddies but they have left town. it is so hard to replace them :(  i have just now taken someones advice and set ten alarms on my phone to remind me to work out for three minutes hourly to find my thirty lol lets hope it works )
