I know all about plateaus but it doesn't make it any easier

I've tracked consistently for the last 364 days. Not every day has been perfect, not every meal has been about loss. For the last 6 months, I've been maintaining which I'm mostly fine with. I have a healthy BMI & fit into a size that previously felt impossible. Within the last few weeks, I've gotten back into loss mode with a hope to finally get to my ultimate goal. And I'm stuck.

I know there are people who've plateaued for longer, but I took the break because of my plateau 6 months ago. I was afraid that I'd obsess, get discouraged & then return to bad habits, so I upped my calories, tracked & concentrated on other parts of my life for a while. I'm proud of maintaining. It's something I really worried that I wouldn't be capable of doing & I've proven to myself that I can.

I'm just really hitting a place where I need to see a return on my investment. On the scale. In my measurements. I'd be fine with either.
