I'm really struggling in patience with my weight loss this time around. Before, when I lost 50 lbs., I wasn't that "fat". I was 223 lbs. and on my 5'3 frame, yes, I was large- but not like I am now. I quickly lost quite a bit and was happy with myself and how I looked. I desperately want to feel that way again, to get back into my 14's (at least!!) and be more comfortable in my skin.
I've just restarted my weight loss journey, and while I have managed to lose 10 lbs. in 2 1/2 weeks (half of me feels like that's an awesome number, the other half is bummed it's not more?) I want more, more, more! My brain feels like "Ok. Doing good. Eating right. Let's not be fat anymore... starting NOW!"
haha
Not working.
How do you maintain your patience with yourself to keep going? I keep telling myself if I set small goals I can celebrate several small victories along the way (like losing 10 lbs. 10 times, instead of the whole 100, kwim?) but again, darn brain keeps mucking it all up.
I really need to join a support thread here, I know I need that accountability and "one-on-one" support!
Thanks for reading.
