pushing past plateaus

I love my ruts...but I hate it when my weight is in one! I've been on a plateau for 3 weeks...no matter what I tried, it seemed, it made no difference! The evil scale stayed the same! But finally this week, there was some movement! A small move, but an acknowledgement that I was making an effort. I am afraid that I am not going to reach my original goal...it's just been so much harder this time, and there have been obstacles I've never encountered before. But I am determined, and even if I don't lose the 20 pounds by my goal date, I am NOT going to stop working toward that goal...AND I WILL ACHIEVE IT! I need to keep watching what I eat, keep moving and walking, and I need to keep seeing those pounds slip right off! Thank you, Father, for your help here and in all things!
