Dealing with stalls

I’ve hit my first major stall of my weight loss and I’m so frustrated.
I’m 10 months post op and have lost 112 pounds so far (yay!) but over the last couple months I’ve been stalled.
My dietician and I have gone over my eating habits in great detail (and I’ve panic emailed her a lot lol) and she assured me I’m doing everything right. She said this is normal and that I’m not done losing yet. I’m back at the lowest weight I’ve ever been (like seriously haven’t been this small since I was 13) and my body wants to stick at this weight cuz it doesn’t know how to be smaller.
The stall also coincided with starting CrossFit 😂 and I know that factors in too. before I was mostly just running a lot which melted a lot of fat, but now muscle is getting incorporated.
My body is still changing. Even within the stall I dropped a size. I’m just so conditioned to equating what’s on the scale to success. For a long time post op I was losing 10-15 pounds a month and that was rewarding.
Now I’m struggling to measure success in other ways and am feeling incredibly discouraged. Working out has gone from fun to “punishing” my body for not succeeding. I started obsessivelg weighing multiple times a day and now have made my roommate hide my scale.
What are some ways you guys have dealt with the stalls on a psychological/emotional level?
