So I'm sure you've seen my posts b&^%ing and moaning about my belly fat, and I know with some more time there could be some improvement in the area, but I'm having trouble accepting that it will never be what it was. It was never perfect and I'm fine with that, but it is a typical I've lost a ton of weight and now have a saggy belly and will never not have a slight muffin top if my pants are too tight and will NEVER be able to wear a bikini again tummy (plus some extra fat I could do without).
I've always cautioned losers to be realistic with their expectations of weight loss because it won't solve all your problems and things don't always turn out the way you hope they will and in the end you have to love the body you have because there are only so many changes that are within your control. If you're not realistic with what weight loss will bring then it is very possible you will get to your goal and realize that it wasn't ever the weight that was the problem in the first place, it was your self image and that's still a problem so you regain. My mom is the classic case of this, she's never ever been satisfied and yo yo'd her entire life and I do not want to be that.
So why am I having such a hard time taking my own advice? Why to I feel it's necessary to lose 5 more lbs just be sure miracles don't happen? I guess I'm just trying to to a little soul searching to figure this out, because I don't want to be the classic yo yo dieter and in general I'm thrilled with my results and proud of what I've done...but for some reason it still just doesn't feel like quite enough and I cannot for the life of me figure out why...
