I have gone from 95 to 86 kg in the past 2 months. Weight loss is going pretty well.
However, I notice that as time passes, I am becoming more and more hyperfocussed on losing weight, and it's making me impatient. This is totally unneccessary, I fully trust myself that in 2 more months that I will reach my goal weight, and in the meantime I can already enjoy the process.
After this, I expect to maintain for a while, stay exercising and eating well, and then I will aim to build more muscle, so another period of a few months is ahead where I can be impatient again to see the progress.
What I have learned in the past year is that my lack of self-acceptance does more damage to my happiness and what I want to do in life than how my body looks. Sure, becoming leaner and stronger will be very good for me, but I want to do this from a position of self-love and acceptance, thus enjoying the fruits of my labours while feeling positive about myself.
In the end, I think what matters most is my character and how I treat the people around me. I want to be an authentic, relaxed and stable person. Does anyone have any advice on how I can do this?
The first step that I have in mind myself is to start journaling tomorrow, to write about my life right now, and not only about what I want to change, but also the positive things I enjoy every day. A second thing that I want to do is to actually open myself up more to that positive side, to have more fun. Invite people to come have dinner or to relax, let myself get lost in hobbies, hang out with people that I love and just have a good time, exercise with people, etc.
During the past 20 years of my life I have wanted to change myself more and more, and I have never been able to accept me as I am, and my life became heavier and heavier, as my expectations of myself kept rising. I want to break this cycle. That's why I am asking you, particularly how you deal with this while losing weight.
