The Stall

There is nothing more frustrating than following a diet to the letter only to find that your weight loss has stalled. Maybe it's my body telling me, "This is as good as it gets." Maybe it's just a fluke. Either way, I'm at a point where I have to make a decision. If my stall hasn't broken by tomorrow, I think I may just throw in the towel. Don't get me wrong, I have lost nearly 20 lbs in three weeks which is an amazing accomplishment. Unfortunately, it just isn't my goal weight. In all honesty, I have to say that if it truly is my fate to be 10 lbs higher than where I would like to be, it isn't the end of the world. I just struggle with not meeting a goal that I've set for myself. On the other hand, actually being able to eat something besides chicken and lettuce is certainly going to be nice. Should my stall continue into tomorrow, I will start the third phase of the diet. Even 10 lbs heavier than my goal, I'm a thinner Maggie and happier for it.
