You've already got the most important step down, and that is not giving up! Just remember that this is a long journey. You will slip up, relapse, and feel like you failed. The only way you fail is if you really just give up entirely. You can do it. You just need to find that inner strength that you had for the first twenty pounds, and then keep it. Just keep going and keep reassuring yourself you ARE making progress even if it's slow.
You will get in your own head and say to yourself what's the point? I'm not changing. I haven't lost anything. I'm delusional. This isn't working. Well you know what I did to finally get over those thoughts? Well I'm just going to keep going and keep doing this because it makes me feel better. I feel healthier, more energetic, and that's what really matters. Then guess what? One day, like with me, you'll measure yourself after a few months and have lost inches. Then you will be so motivated it's not even funny!
Just never give up! Even if you slip up for even a week, get right back at it. You can do it
I'm needing support. Can't fight the cravings on my own
