i am starting to realize how many people struggle with their weight and its because of a mental block. i am 5 foot four and i was around 182 for about 11 years i couldnt make it budge more than a few pounds up or down. I was blaming it on hormones. Because when i was younger i was diagnosed with pcos. And was told its hard for people with pcos to loose weight! I heard that and it stuck with me and i went into every diet attempt with the mindset this is gonna be way harder for me than everybody else. And nothing worked. and starting at a youner age i had 3 kids (3 separate pregnancies )in 4 years. i put my body throuh allot and. failed at every weightloss attempt. because i was always thinking its too hard, theres something wrong with me its never going to work. Untill this summer i went to see a new primary doctor and i felt comfortable sharing my struggle with my weight and he listened and and he told me scientific facts recommend weight watchers and exercise. Nothing magical actually it was so unspectacular that i almost doubted it. But now after a month i am 166. And still going. Tracking my food showed me i was just over eating. I 100% believe for some people(not all people) like myself its a mindset. and we can talk ourselves into and out of anything.

I am the same height as you. Most of my problems I had caused myself over time. That's why I am weighing as much as I do.

I have done weight watchers as well and there really is a mental component to why and when we eat and how much. I have also done Beach Body and both of them taught me the importance of portion control, hydration, sleep and tracking. Just moving your body 30 minutes does wonders too. Every trainer I ever dealt with says the same thing, success is 80% nutrition and only 20%workout, not the other way around, and there is no safe fast healthy weight loss diet, it is a mindset and lifestyle change. Congratulations. I have been doing what I know to do since Monday and weight is coming off as well.

absolutely! I was 5ft3 and 180lb for years. it absolutely took a mindset change, and it had to be my own doing. no amount of medical advice woke me up until I put my mind to it

Yes! The mindset of food as fuel (and tasting good) while doing the physical exercise that burns fat and build muscle is a mindset. You are so right. I am 5'2. I was 156. I am now 132.8. Some people get there slowly in their mind, and others just flip a switch. This group helps me with good recipes, inspiration, and understanding. Great to hear your accomplishment. I'm sure you've feeling great too.

OMG! I am 5’2” now at 180! I feel awful! I love to cook and love the taste of food! It keeps me going back for more! I track things on here and think I’m doing good, but what am I doing wrong! I do walk every day with my dogs. The struggle is real!!

Yep, people will make excuses but at the end of the day it comes down to the law of thermodynamics. Weight Watcher points are just another method of counting calories. CICO.

I agree with every word you just said. the mind is a powerful place. The more you let yourself believe you "can't " do something the more you believe it's true. I have felt the same way especially after I had my last child, I was already in my 30's and everything I read about weight loss in your 30's was just down right depressing. Thank God, I adopted a new out look on weight loss, got motivated and kept a positive mind set. I am now 20 lbs lighter. I am still working on it, but Yes exercise and calorie counting is a Hugh plus to fast tracking yourself in the right direction. best of luck to you, so glad you are reaching your goals.

Yes, I gave up before I started. Still working on getting started. I thought it was too late for a couple of year. Finally I decided it didn't matter if it's too late. My only regret would be if I never really tried. This is not only about weight loss. This is about mental & physical heath. Can't have one without the other. Finally realized I buried my root cause thinking it would affect me when it obviously did. It showed on the scale, which I was very good at avoiding. It was fight or flight my problems, I choose flight for decades. Now I recognize the real problem, making a plan, follow the plan, keep up with follow through.
