For whoever experiences plateaus and needs a reminder to see them through by not giving up on your eating plan but ALSO not giving up on yourself in terms of letting yourself get discouraged, here’s your reminder!
I just experienced a plateau that was long enough that I started to question whether I should adjust my plan, whether maybe I was tracking my calories inaccurately, etc. I decided to wait for 2 more weeks (it’d been a month ish) and eventually I saw the weight reduce again. Last year, I would’ve given up or put a lot of stress on myself (thinking my metabolism was shot, how was I going to do this for the rest of my life, was I going to just have to eat barely anything forever to stay a healthy weight without gaining? ) This year, I put my worries and disappointments aside and kept going, KNOWING I would reach my goals, KNOWING that my food future had happy yummy nourishing prospects.
I have to say I’ve experienced a plateau where I gave up (for 1.5 yrs!), a plateau that was grueling to get through and brought on immense frustration and discouragement, and the last where I felt hopeful, empowered, and peaceful. I have to say I much prefer that latter type of plateau.
Make your goals possible, believe in yourself, and enjoy yourself as much as you can along the way!
