The wardrobe experiment has inspired me and helped me on my path to weight loss, so I though I would offer some suggestions based on things that have helped me lose weight. I have lost 21 pounds over the past 3 months and still have 20 pounds to go. I found that by adopting the wardrobe experiment I have become more aware of my body. It's easy to become disconnected from your actual body size when your clothes are baggy and not form fitting. Wearing smaller clothes has led me to notice what my size REALLY is, not what I imagine it to be. Anyway, some suggestions: If you have found that your weight loss has stalled I highly recommend you read the Cortisol Connection by Shawn M. Talbot. My weight loss stopped despite my best efforts, but I read this book and started following its plan and my weight loss has picked up again. The book suggests a lot of supplements, but I haven't used them yet, and still I have seen results.
Also, when you mentioned you were having a work out day where you couldn't see yourself as healthy-that is a normal feeling for even the healthiest, thin, active people out there. I used to work out twice a day every day before I got pregnant (hence the weight gain) and I would have days like that, so don't be too hard on yourself.
Hope this helps! Congratulations on your success so far!
