Thanks for this good post! "Plateau" has been my life for several months now--if that's even the right thing to call it. It's actually felt more like a small-diameter, circular trench!
The happy news is that, at least, I haven't continued to gain weight...for that, I have to thank the Chambers. So much encouragement; so much positive energy. It's helped me resist giving up; gives me strength to turn away from junk food; the candy jars at work & other notorious pitfalls.
In recent months, I haven't posted a lot; and for that I'm truly sorry. I'm keenly aware of the ways in which I've benefitted from this list, not to mention the benefit's I'm little by little becoming aware of despite that they've been improving my lot for a while now. These involve facets of my life and personality which I'd more-or-less blocked from my conscious awareness, because they were a bit more painful than I felt ready to face in times past. This is what makes the process of inner healing tough to deal with, sometimes: when an important bit of healing occurs in an area that had been subliminated, the sensation can be excruciating. It's an illusion, because the pain was there already; it only seems worse because the sensitivity has been restored. It's really a good problem to have; all I need to do is keep "ridin' the storm out."
Blessings;
