Plateaued

Plateaued

pla·teaued, pla·teau·ing, - To reach a stable level; level off:

 

When you read the definition of this word it does not seem so bad.  When you are losing weight it is a word that wreaks havoc on your emotions.  I have been plateaued for a week. I am still on my plan. In fact I am following my eating plan flawlessly. Hey that is not fair!?! I should eat a pizza! At times like these my mind tries to talk my emotions down.  The mind says,

 

            I was very sick so I could not exercise.

            I am well ahead of my schedule.

            I am in this for the long haul not the quick loss.

            I feel great.

            I am in smaller clothes.

            I am still tracking all my food.

 

 I say things like this and other true statement and these truths help.  When you think of it like that the definition of the word plateaued is very helpful.  My body needs time to stabilize, level off, catch up.  Keep working the plan the body will reset and catch up.  Peace of mind!
