Ok, plateaus are annoying, but in fact they can be helpful. I have been on one for the past few weeks. Actually its more like a roller coaster, my weight goes up a few pounds, then I steel my resolve and work to get it back to 214. I decided to look at it as 'maintenance in training'. I will reach my goal weight, and when I do I will have a new battle of maintaining it. I decided that my plateaus will be real life training exercises in how to deal with the emotions and changes I need to make in order to succeed. I am tired of starting and stopping. So I am just going to continue. Things will never get better if I just moan and whine about them. Just keep moving, I will persevere... that is my new motto.
