  1. I'm pretty sure it's only water weight, but I've been stalled for almost two weeks and this morning I saw that I have gained almost two pounds. This upsets me more than I want it to, and is making me wonder if I am perhaps becoming slightly obsessed with losing weight. I've also noticed that eating more than 600 calories makes me feel like I'm overeating, even though I'm supposed to be trying to get in 900-1000 calories a day. Enjoying food (which has only recently started happening again) makes me feel super guilty. Am I developing an eating disorder?!

      Around month 4 I had a terrible stall, it lasted 28 days. I was eating less than 600 calories a day and exercising like crazy. Both my nut and training had me increase my calories (protein focused) to between 900 and 1000 and decrease my exercise by 30 minutes a day. I was doing an hour of cardio every day.

      Within days of doing that my stall immediately broke.

       

      Your body gets used to the same routines and gets comfortable where it is at. You do not want your body to get comfortable at 600 calories, that is not good for the long term.

      You're absolutely right, of course. I think I'm going to need to talk to a therapist about this. I think it feels so devastating to me because I've come so far and worked so hard to get here and feel so proud, but I also know that I have such a loooong way to go. I've lost over 120 pounds but I'm still over 300. I have this nagging, ridiculous fear that the stall means that my body is done losing weight and I'm just going to be stuck here forever. It's utter nonsense, of course. I'm only 3.5 months out. I think I just spent so many years feeling completely out of control and trying so, so hard to lose weight with minuscule or no results so now during this stall I am confronting that same feeling of "I'm going to fail no matter what I do". And it terrifies me, however illogical.

      YOU are NOT going to fail, stall yes. Fail no.

      Keep coming here, asking for reassurance.

      Do as @Djmohr suggested. DO NOT GIVE UP!

      YOU got this!
