[better health3]

Hi all. I have almost lost half of my weight. Some days are easier than others. I am consistent most of the time, this round. I am focused on correct portions and quality nutrition. I have not binged in a month. I have lost several (8) clothing sizes.

What is your best suggestion in staying patient? Sometimes I could scream, because it is going so slow. I try on clothes for a pick me up. Things are getting smaller. Thanks for your input.

I struggle with this too! I have scale and nonscale victories, and neither are major, and it gets so frustrating! I try to tell myself that I spent years doing it in a wrong/unhealthy way, and doing it properly is to do it slowly. I also have a lot to lose [half of myself] and so I also tell myself will avoid a lot of loose skin by taking my time. So far that has proven true.

Wow, congratulations on your incredible progress! I lost 20 kgs over 2 years, and patience was my biggest challenge too. I reminded myself daily that I just want to be fit and healthy, and lasting change takes time. Trying on smaller clothes is such a great motivator, I remember the first time I realized my old jeans were too big. I found Yours Clothing UK has a great range when transitioning sizes without breaking the bank.

I lost 62 kilos since 2020 and I just set goals and got myself rewards as I progressed. I recommend holding off on clothes until you reach your goal weight. I ended up with all the clothes I did buy not fitting too and had to buy more. I think to remind yourself it’s not a race and time passes quickly always in retrospect.
