JUST FOR TODAY: Realize that a plateau doesn't mean settling for status quo. Stay with your action plan and keep believing in your Self!
If you have reached a plateau with your weight, this can actually be a healthy thing. It doesn't mean that your weight loss (or weight gain, in the case of anorexia recovery) plan isn't working. During this plateau, your metabolism may be adjusting to your new weight. So, keep following your intuitive eating and exercise plan, and give your body more time to adapt. Weight rarely changes at a constant rate – it may change for quickly at first, then slow down, then level off, then change again. If you've reached a plateau and feel frustrated, like you may be settling, pause to acknowledge all of the positive steps you are taking. Keep moving forward with these steps, keep believing in your Self, and your healthy weight will follow!
