Struggling mentally. Need some encouragement.

I have been on my current weight loss journey since October 2020. I have lost 47 lbs and am 3 lbs away from being halfway to goal. I have achieved this through intermittent fasting and low-carb. For medical reasons, I do low-carb.

Last Sunday, I had a treat day where I definitely ate too much. But it was Valentine’s Day and my single ass was gonna indulge. Got back on the wagon the next day and have adhered to my plan since. However I’m suddenly thinking about food more often, having to distract myself more, feeling more tempted to eat “forbidden” foods. And it is EXHAUSTING having to talk myself out of it all day long. I was doing great for a minute, it was effortless for a bit, but now I sort of miss the old days of eating what I wanted and when I wanted. I don’t miss the extra weight of course.

I’ve come far but I still have a ways to go. That’s the part that sucks. I’m still obese. And I’m starting to feel like I’m just as fat as I was. My problem area is my belly and although it’s smaller it still sticks out significantly and makes me appear pregnant. Other people who are heavier than me have smaller waistlines. My 7 year old even asked “Why do you still look pregnant?” 😭

I don’t want to give up, but how do I stop feeling discouraged? I know I’ve done well so far but I’m losing steam.
