Almost 6 months out, first REAL stall...

I know what I need to do to 'overcome' the stall (make sure I get my fluids in, redouble my efforts to get in enough protein, regular exercise, and patience) but I finally understand how frustrating this FEELS. I've read many peoples' posts about how frustrated they are with their weight stalling out for weeks at a time, I just never FELT their frustration until now.
I have been REALLY lucky and have not really had a stall until now... I had a week here or there where my weight bounced due to my menstrual cycle but this really is my first stall. I've been stuck at this weight for 3 weeks now. Yes, I have lost almost 80 lbs and am be SUPER grateful that this hasn't happened sooner; it just doesn't make it FEEL any better. Even knowing what I can do to overcome and get through this moment doesn't really help me feel better about it. I feel like I've done something 'wrong' to cause my weight to stall out, even though cerebrally I understand that the body needs to take this time (the stall) to adjust to the changes.
I think I'm going to go back to The Ask Dr A Show on YouYube and re-watch some videos to try and make myself feel better; maybe I'll even go re-watch some Clusie and ChemistryQueen on YouTube also.
Any tips on how to deal with the emotional side of the stall? Other than the aforementioned 'patience' part; I'm working on that.
