Good for you, you've made some really tough changes - I know all too well that changing eating habits is a perfect nightmare. Eating fast food is a part of life for most people, and trying to walk away from it takes a lot of grit! The brick wall you mention is often called a plateau, but I Like your description better - having been there, myself, I know it's MUCH more like a brick wall than a plateau. A plateau you can cross - a brick wall stops you dead in your tracks, or at least tries to. The thing to do is to just keep on keeping on - keep up your hard work. Eat sensibly and fill up on fruits and vegetables. Keep exercising, and maybe even start adding a little more activity each week. Like, take more steps during the day - stretch your bike ride to 25 minutes....kind of mix things up and catch your metabolism off guard. You're at the danger zone right now - it's the place that actually determines whether someone wins of loses. Sadly, most lose. They get discouraged and return to their old habits. I think you'll be one of the winners, though! I can "hear" it in your words - you're determined and you have a great game plan. My money's on you! -Joi HI!
