A break is not the end of the world. I think it's something that everyone needs. Whether it's from school, work, or even (GOD FORBID) dieting, a break has many benefits.
I've been taking a diet break for five days now. In regards to my mental health, I feel a lot better, calmer, and more in tuned with the world.
Now, from a physical standpoint, I feel more rested except for these chest pains. I hope I am not really going to have a heart attack. But you see, I am an optimist, so I believe that these strains on my heart are just signs from my body that I'm doing the right thing.
Eating wise, I've been doing pretty super de duper. Sure, I've given myself a little more leeway in terms of my food choices, but I'm not going crazy or anything like that. Moderation, right?
I've been losing weight for a year and a half now. I never took a real break from dieting, which is why I'm guessing my body adapted to my calorie intake and made me plateau for like forever.
Hopefully my metabolism/leptin/thyroid functions return to normal from this break because if they don't you are going to see a meltdown that is more worthy of an Oscar than anything Meryl Streep can pull off. 100% Guaranteed.

Glad you're enjoying your break. Maybe it's time to head to the doctors about the chest pains. Hope you get to feeling better mentally and physically.
SECOND!!!!
I HATE WHITE PEOPLE!
ALSO, YOU ARE A FATASS AND WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING!
The last thing that you are is an optimist...
Sorry for my anonymous rants, but what I meant to say was that you're the only one that knows how your body really feels and whether you need to take some time and focus elsewhere. As long as you don't do crazy and drive off a cliff, I say more power to you.
As for the chest pains, that's not a normal sign of activity, Tony. It's really not something you want to just let see. Chances are it's nothing, but what's the harm in getting a clean bill of health from a doctor or cardiologist.
Sounds like it is exactly what you needed. :)
My comment wasn't finished! Grr! I would just like to echo the sentiment about seeing a doctor. Chest pains aren't a joke.
im pretty sure chest pains arent a good thing.
Uh, I'm not a doctor or anything, but chest pains are not generally a signal that you're doing something right. You really ought to see a doctor about that if they persist.
Do what you know to be best for you. Only you know what your body is telling you. I'm sure a break will do some good. Not only to keep your sanity but to throw your body a curve ball. No matter what you do remember how far you've come, you've done amazing!!
