Stalling

[Nhope 146]

Here's what I know about stalls:

-Everyone has them

-They are often a natural "famine" response that your body has in reaction to rapid weight loss

-It's not what I'm eating at this stage (one month out) because I couldn't possibly eat less!

-I need to be more careful with drinking Water

-Weighing myself everyday doesn't help

-It doesn't matter what I know, stalling makes me crazy!!!!!!

Stalls suck!!! No other way to feel about them.

I stalled for over a month and a half at one point. It was terrible. I am five months out and as sick as I am of hearing "how different each of us gets through this process" I can't stress enough how true that statement is. I have no doubt that my stall is due to my body becoming accustom to smaller portions and getting past thinking I was starving my body to death. Once my body figures out what I'm doing the weight drops a little. But the body keeps thinking I'm starving it and I keep trying to retrain it.

There are so many people on here that seem to get through this so much easier, or their stalls last for a few days, and they drop huge amounts of weight quickly. We can't compare our story to anyone else. We all get through this differently, some more than others. But as the days go by it gets easier. Life gets back to a normal place again and it all makes more sense. Keep up the good work. 64 pounds is nothing to sneeze at!!! Congratulations.
