Especially given my rocky mental state and skirtings with disaster this past week, I'm totally happy to be still plateauing--as opposed to, say, going up in weight.
Hopefully a bunch of the stress I've been under will go away once I get past the big choral concert I'm performing in this coming Saturday. Although there's further stressors down the road, involving packing for a move across town--I loathe packing and moving with a passion that knows no bounds. But the move itself is ultimately a good thing, because it'll be a nicer living situation with nicer housemates--so ultimately it'll mean less stress in the long run.
I also think I may be having some new little weirdness in my menopause going on. This morning I was moody and depressed for no very good reason I could identify, and I had several different major hotflash spikes. Up to now my menopause has been extremely mild--yes, I'd have hot flashes, but they were so gentle and short that they were almost no bother at all. Who knows? A certain amount of estrogen gets stored in, or even produced by, adipose tissue; maybe my bod is in the process of metabolizing a deposit of fat that's just loaded with the stuff and it's messing with my mind as it works its way out of me.
I just have to watch, though, because feeling blue is another stressor that could start colluding with my Lizard Brain to mess with my food.
