Pleasantly surprised (and relieved) to see that, despite emotional eating and slacking on workouts this past week that I managed to maintain rather than gain. I've had 173 as my lowest since starting this concerted effort of lose weight that I'm desperate to not see that number (or anything above it) again.
I keep thinking that if I could just lose another 10 lbs or so, I could "be happy" --- but I also wonder if I'll ever find a weight at which I can be completely content in my own skin, or if I will always see myself as overweight, always be unhappy with how I look. Its a hard thought to shake when you've been carrying it for more than half your lifetime, but if anyone has tips or tricks to overcome it, I'd love to hear them.
The one thing that has kind of helped me is to look at items that weigh the same amount that I lost. It provides a new perspective. For example, in October 2011 when I started on here, I was 188 -- 15 lbs higher than I am today. Doesn't sound like a big change when you consider it'll be nine years this October, but thinking about lugging around a 15 lb. bag of dog food for the last nine years makes me feel a bit better about the accomplishment.
Have a great weekend, FS!

Hey Kitty, I was just going over some of my past entries today. I wanted to figure out when I started to see and commit to a routine with consistency. It took a while to get to what I thought was my goal weight but I also realized, after reviewing my journals, that I did not seem satisfied once I reached that number. Perhaps if I had stuck it out and put on muscle I would have been content but for certain there would have been something else. My main focus now is to look at what worked in the past, make adjustments as needed, stay consistent, remind myself to be positive, and focus on ways to constantly improve my health. I wish you the best my friend. If I find some tips that work for me, I'll send them your way. Stay positive and stay focused. And if you are at a standstill switch it up <3
