How to not get discouraged by slow progress?

I started last July at 185lbs (5’2, 22F) and am currently at 160lbs. I lost ~10lbs between July and December and the last 15 or so between December and now. My goal weight is 135lbs.

My weight loss has slowed down as I recently quit an active job and am just not moving as much as I was when I was working. I’m generally eating around 1400 calories a day, but exact calorie counting triggers some of my disordered eating behaviors.

I’m still losing weight but it’s not as quick as I would like it to be. I know that I’m losing at a healthy rate but it’s so hard to not be discouraged when the scale is moving so slowly. I weigh myself everyday and use HappyScale to track my progress.

I don’t really want to lose faster, because the way I’m eating and exercising is sustainable for me, I just want to be comfortable with the amount I’m losing.

Any advice is much appreciated!
