First, congratulations on the 30 pounds. That’s a lot of weight to lose. Running out of steam just means that you need a breather from dieting. Our bodies as well as our psyches generally need this kind of breather during long weight loss programs so what you’re experiencing is normal and healthy. Continuing to push yourself to lose weight during this time will probably make things worse instead of better. Instead, use this time to hone your weight maintenance skills and work to keep most of your weight off. In addition, focus on other areas in your life that may need attention so you’ll have an even better foundation for the next round of dieting.
