It's safe until I start sprouting long ears

First off, I want to say thank you for all the nice comments and encouragement ! I have no intention of giving up the journey for a lot of reasons, but it is always helpful to get those pats on the back when you are feeling low. This stall zone has been happening for me for the last 7 months, and I have tried mixing up the plan, mixing up the foods, not eating my activity points, eating my activity points, dropping carbs, doing only whole grains,the Wendi Plan and nothing works. For whatever reason, my body in it's infinite wisdom is keeping me right at this weight as it deals with other factors at this time it seems. When it is ready, it will move those scale numbers. Measurements for myself ? Changes but not towards a smaller number either. I have actually gained in my hips, my bust and my neck. For me personally, I have less faith in the tape measure than I do the scales.Yet, I am wearing 2 sizes smaller in clothes, smaller sized shoes, smaller sized ring so something is happening positive. I feel more energetic, stronger, more vital and those are more important things than numbers.

Yesterday as we were heading off to the store my intuition started speaking up, telling me that at this time of the year I need to eat more veggies. Non starchy ones, and perhaps less fruits. I get an average of 12 servings of fruits and veggies per day because I really enjoy them taste wise and I enjoy the way I feel from eating them even more. I think I will try to make it my goal for this week to eat even more veggies to see if this helps. Perhaps I have an inner desire to become a rabbit or something.
