Thanks you guys - I really feel like I have hit the wall today. I went through an entire pack of gum today. As soon as I got home, I made a huge fruit smoothy and now I am downing an entire bag of popcorn.
As much as I would like to pretend that exercising has been a sign of amazing self-discipline, it has honestly been my #1 method of burning off stress and allowing me to keep eating lots of food. I thought that I was looking forward to a 2 day break from the gym.....but maybe it isn't as great as it seems.
On the positive side, I have just about reached my weight loss goal. On the negative side, I seem to have plateaued. It was really exciting to lose the weight, but now that I've done it, I'm kinda feeling like "Okay...I did it...Is this all there is??"
I went through a similar time in my quit - Okay, I quit smoking...Isn't life supposed to be great now? Soooo...I'm at loose ends and I don't know what I want (except, of course popcorn and smoothies).
Is this another phase? What's next?
