Stalled

[swjtlongdrive 12]

Hello all, I know this topic has been discussed at great length but sometimes it can help to write it down and get specific direction for one's self. I have stalled and have adapted some bad habits. I find myself eating Cereal for Breakfast rather than eggs, slider foods for lunch instead of grilled chicken, etc. I just recently had my most "aggressive" fill so I am excited about that but still the 9 months of hard work has paid off but I just need to get back on track. I've tried doing just liquids for a couple of days to get free from the carbs or bad habits only to find myself starving after the days of liquid. The scale hasn't moved for over 2 months and I am ready to get it moving again. I know I just need to start eating right but any other ideas? Also, as I add cardio to my routine I find myself even more hungry than when I don't work out. I know this is normal but it is a different hunger that I am not a fan of. I really want to eat a large portion after working out.

Basically, just venting and looking for "here's what I have done with success when I am where you are" experiences as I know what I am going through is normal.

My one year anniversary is coming up in less than 60 days and I'd like to finish the year strong and get below 195 before March 3, 2011.

Any and all advice welcome.

I don't know about you but sometimes I defeat myself with an all or nothing attitude. I finally got back on track when I did it in baby steps. To start, I just cut out wheat products and sugar since they go hand in hand. Amazingly, after about a week, a lot of my cravings disappeared. I didn't worry about carbs at that point other than to keep them under 200. However, most days my carbs never went over 100. Then I 'officially' dropped my carbs to under 100. About a week after that I dropped them to 60 and eliminated any carbs that came from anything other than vegies.
