It's psychological. You get soooo close that you almost start sabotaging your efforts to lose that last little bit because...where do you go from there? You even wanted to change your goal weight just so you could stay on the program. Everybody feels this way. It's almost too scary to reach your goal weight because that represents a new set of challenges, like maintenance. And if you gain back you feel like a failure. This phenomenon affects us in many aspect of life. Ok, this may not be your situation but I know it's mine! If I lose that last 5 lbs there's no excuse for not being happy, successful and in control of my life. I'm just afraid the last 5 lbs aren't the issue and I'd have to start thinking about what else is making me stuck in a rut! Well, this is your journal, not mine, so I'll shut up! LOL. Just thought I'd throw those ideas out there and let you decide if any of it fits. You ARE doing really well and your plateau isn't all that long so not to worry just yet. You'll get there!
