It’s McFatty Monday again!!!

Things are a little different for my McFatty right now – I’ve decided to put the Nutrisystem on hold, only because I’m simply lacking appetite.  (hopefully, that won’t stay around forever)  But I couldn’t see tossing out half of an entree when it is so expensive so for now, I’m doing the best I can eating-wise & storing my Nutrisystem for when I finally gain back the urge to eat.  But I’m watching my portions, trying to remember to shove in the veggies & protein.  & the best news of all:

side note: these pictures make me realize that my hair needs a trim STAT.  Is Tuck nomming on the ends while I sleep?

In a lot of ways, I’m excited about this “break” in dieting, especially since it’s half-way to my initial goal.  Just to have some real food again, enjoy a few things, relax a bit & enjoy the 19 lbs I’ve lost.  To start working out for stress relief & endorphins, not with the goal of weight loss.  Then get right back on the bandwagon to tackle the next 19 lbs.  I’m kind of wondering since my weight loss had slowed down…will this break create another rapid loss the “second” time around when I pick it back up?  Or is that too much like yo-yo dieting?  I’m just not fighting the impending plateau & instead, enjoying it, being conscious, & building momentum to tackle it in a few weeks.  Trying to help it become a lifestyle, not a constant “diet.”

When you do plateau, what is the best motivation to keep going?  Any “tricks” to break the monotony or stubborn scale?
