5'4" 18y/o F. CW:193 SW: 225 GW: <145
I've posted here before, but I wanted to share a frustration. I'm losing weight consistently, I look and feel better than I have in years, and I'm probably in some of the best shape of post-adolescent life. I know I /will/ achieve my GW, but It somehow bugs me that it took me a full year to lose 30 pounds. It barely feels like it happened, and in reality, after an initial and quick drop to 215, It feels like I only lost 20.
And I already know, it's not "only 20." its the fact that I lost weight consistently for a full year. Logically, I understand I'm on a fantastic and consistent path down, but I'm still frustrated by how long it's taking, and how undramatic the before/after pictures of the first 20 pounds are. It's not *that much* of a mental block, but it's just kinda getting at me recently. Why did it take so long for me to lose that much? It's not a small amount, but 52 weeks is a lot. that's like, 2 ish pounds a month.
I've made a goal to be sub 175 by the end of summer, which is faster than I've recently been losing weight. I think I can try and accelerate my weight loss a bit now that I've got 20 pounds and a lot of better habits behind me to launch myself forward.
I'm rambling, it's just frustrating to have made this progress and not feel like its god enough for the time I had, even though I understand conceptually that it's huge that I've consistently lost weight for a year
