In January 2007, I weighed 420 lbs . In February 2009, I was down to 255 lbs and within 100 lbs of my goal weight. I couldn't get the scale to budge and gave up. By August 2015, I hit a personal high at 442 lbs. Now I'm on a renewed journey to health.

The good news about plateaus

So yesterday I ate A LOT of my husband's leftover birthday cake. And guess what? I weighed 255 lbs this morning. Just like I did the morning before and the morning before that and the morning before that. I've weighed 255 for nearly 3 months now. It's got to break soon.

By the way, it should be no surprise that the cake gave me a headache and made me crave crap all day long.

Your post reminded me of the time this summer when the kids had gone to the county fair and brought home a huge bag of cotton candy for "mom" to enjoy the next day. Of course I promptly ate the whole thing at breakfast (no, I know it's not a breakfast food!) and was sick the rest of the day. I can't stand the sight or thought of it now.

I've also been at a plateau for a YEAR and they are hard to break.

Oh cake, my Nemesis!
I'd have the same cravings if I ate it.

I can't believe how far you've come. It's just amazing to me.
The plateau hopefully is broken soon for you.

Ma'am put down the knife and step away from the cake ...

I just did a post on plateaus...They suck!! Everyone has advice about them, it is just figuring out what will work for you. It will break, it will just take time and work.
