As well as getting AWAY from being overweight, what are you hoping to get TOWARDS?

Hi! I’m 24 F, started at 238 pounds and down to 205 now over about 3 months.

I’m on my most consistent weight loss ever after about a 5 year struggle, and part of this I owe to my mentor.

Before I always just focussed on losing weight, but I learnt that when you try to get AWAY from something like weight as soon as you get distance from it you still feel like you have ages to go because you tell yourself every day ‘my body isn’t good enough, I’m not thin enough yet, I need to lose more’ then as you lose more you yo yo back because your drive decreases the further you get thinner, as you are further away from being overweight and start feeling comfortable. You look back at where you were criticising yourself before and think wow I was actually looking pretty good!

My mentor asked me, ‘what do you want to get TOWARDS?’

I recently started rowing and I’d love to be able to row a 2k in under 7 minutes. This goes hand in hand with weight loss: I need to build muscle and tone, improve my posture, eat good fuel for food and all this is helping me drop weight without really focussing on it as my main goal

What are you hoping to get towards today/this week/ this month/ this year?
