The seven week stall

Now that I have survived the 7 week stall, I find myself unable to get back on track. In an effort to lose weight, I increased my calories, increased my exercise and tried to increase my protein and water. When it all failed after an honest 6 week atitempt, I gave up. I quit dieting, exercising... Now I have lost 3 lbs and find myself feeling down in the dumps. Not sure where all the motivation went but it has got up and gone along with my energy and hope. I have spent days trying to get myself back on the treadmill and trying to keep my food intake at bay and it just seems frivolous. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to spark my flame again? I have been trying to get my workout buddy to go to the gym with me for motivation but we seem to have opposite schedules and I just can't seem to go there on my own. I have tried being accountable to someone else when I exercise but that isn't working either. I don't want my journey to be over already.

I'd do something out of the ordinary. Take a day off and go and play somewhere. Go to a museum, or a park, or go to a nearby city or town that you haven't visited recently.

go to a library, call a friend, go see someone you'd like to see. Visit a gardening centre just to look at flowers

For me - the worst is doing nothing but stewing.

I'm thinking about you!
