I know Sponge, I know! There should be a forum for the psychology aspects!

I also think that any weight loss experience has a much more to it than not eating this or that. I believe the whole mind-body relationship is one of the causes of plateaus. Plateaus are a good thing. Kind of like a "courting" period to get you aquainted with the new you. People who lose a whole bunch of weight really quickly worry me. Will they be able to follow through on a WOL if the loss of fat has been their only goal? Maintenance also takes place in your mind.
