Last six months I have yo-yoed between 195lbs and 185lbs. My goal is 165lbs. I came this far. I lost 110lbs. Yet these last 20lbs are absolute torture!!!
I’m finding I’m doing great during the week and then losing all progress over the “weekend” (usually letting the weekend overflow into Monday or Tuesday even). It’s so much harder to lose weight when you get thinner, yes, but god damn I cant believe how hard it is to get below 180lbs and how easily I’m giving myself excuses because “at least I’m not gaining”.
I am currently 191lbs and I am going to be 165lb by the end of this summer. Enough putting it off. Enough giving myself excuses. Enough letting other people give me excuses. I gotta get it done.
Through this whole journey I’ve tried to always look at why I’m failing/what’s stopping me. In this case I truly think I’m scared to be done with weight loss. I’m scared I won’t be satisfied not seeing the number go down anymore. I’m scared I’ll still be unhappy with my body when I hit my goal(almost a guarantee on this one actually). I’m scared that when I hit that number, I’ll somehow lose all focus and go back to being 300lbs.
I think another factor is so many people have told me I don’t need to lose more weight and I might look “too skinny if I do”. I let this be an excuse. Sure, I’m fine the way I am. But I’m not meeting a goal I have. A goal that’s a achievable and I really want to do it.
Anyone else struggle at the tail end? Any mental tips to push through?
