The Cliff?
I've been on a plateau as far as my weight loss goes. For over two months, three really, I have been bouncing around the 36-37lb loss. Up and down the same three pounds. I was aware that plateaus are normal so I figured while I was at it I would dive into some other things that needed looked at. Health wise. I had some medical procedures done for health maintenance. I knocked around the psychological blockages. I even dabbled in the spiritual and borderline witchcraft stuff. All of which was fun and effective in their own ways, but none helped with weight loss. I have been following a "Finding Freedom" program that had me do a disorder questionnaire. Turns out I am more than a little screwed up. One of the things I do is I will go on an emotional binge and then to "fix" it, I will come close to starving to make it right. Which leads to another binge, which leads to another starve. Turns out this is an eating disorder. I started to do some research on plateaus and on another program, "Finish Lines," I came across that this method of eating can encourage a plateau because on the starve days I don't eat enough calories (approx 700) and the binge too many(well over 2000). I also had not lifted weights in about 3 months. My water intake had fallen off. These were all simple fixes, but the leveling out the emotional eating was going to take a few weeks to get straitened out. Well, it's been about three weeks and this weigh in I finally broke the barrier! Which is surprising since it was Thanksgiving weekend and not only was there lots of food, but lots of stress. I think I handled the stress ok. On the food, I made a Thanksgiving rules list and stuck to it. Going back to tracking the next meal. I feel better. I don't trust it all of the way, but I do feel some relief.
