But when I'm in the middle of a stall, and feeling discouraged and hopeless and that I probably made the BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER, none of those accomplishments seem to matter. Knowing that stalls are part of the process is helpful. And I'm starting to look at them without so much negativity. I'm starting to look at them as an opportunity to reaffirm WHY I had the surgery, how my life has improved (and will continue to improve), and to be grateful for the progress I have made (and will continue to make).
