You can always track your measurements which can show progress even when a scale seems to indicate no progress. A number of years back I had gained some weight and it was depressing me and I found myself obsessing over the number on the scale. I decided to just toss my scale (it was an old one) and stick to the plan. Two years later I had a doctor's appointment. I stepped on her scale, my first weigh in since I had ditched my scale, and I was down 30 pounds. Trust the process not the scale.
