There was a blurb a few weeks ago in one of the Weight Watchers Weekly magazines you get at meetings. The meeting topic was hitting roadblocks. About plateaus or weight fluctuations, it said that you have to remember that, gain or no gain, you still weigh less than when you did when you started. THAT is an accomplishment.

It takes time to figure things out, and learn how to get around the curves life throws.

As for me, this is my sixth week (I think) on maintenance. I'm maintaining.
