Having a Bad Moment... Day... Week...Mar 03 2008 11:27
OK... I'm in a serious funk here and am having trouble moving past it. I've lost over 100 pounds and only have 15 left to meet my goal of 150. I've been over 250 my entire adult life and now that I'm almost at my goal, it's become abundantly clear that another 15 pounds just isn't going to cut it.
When I started I had no idea what I would look like at this weight, but I suppose in my mind it was better than the reality that now faces me. It's clear that I will have to loose an additional 15-20 pounds at least. (Probably more like an additional 25-30!)
I just feel very defeated that after working on this for over a year and losing over 100 pounds... I'm just not happy. I'm not near the end of having to loose... I'm probably another year away from really being done.
I'm trying to be positive, but it just isn't working right now... **sigh**
Awww, girl....you have got to stop for a second and look at what you've accomplished!!! 100 lbs!!! That is something to be so proud of!!!! Even if you do have 30 more lbs to lose, that's just a drop in the bucket compared to what you've already done! Though it will take a bit longer becasue you are so close to goal, try not to think of it as another year of "having to diet", just keep doing all the things you have done up to this point, counting cals and exercising, and it'll come off in no time! Like you, I've been heavy my entire adult life, even as a teen I had a good 20-30 lbs to lose, so I really have no idea what that magic number is going to be for me! I am going to just wait and see. I've set a goal of 140, I started at 244 (Jan 07), currently at 201, but I plan on taking the rest of the year just to get to 170! Then next year the last 30! That's 3 years to do what you did in 1!!! Take your time, and just focus on being healthy! Try not to focus on a number anymore, I know that is so much easier said than done, and please when I get where you are in the future - do remind me because I'm sure I'll be right in your shoes!! And hey, you should post some before and after pics!!! Seeing it in "black and white" so to speak (and not to mention blowing everyone away! Cheer up girlie! |
) really helps you see your accomplishments!
