Weight loss can be a long, challenging journey. What keeps you motivated during the times you just want to give up?
I am new to r/loseit and am also looking to make some new friends who can relate!
I am a chronic yo-yo dieter and am determined to stick with my new habits this time. I was overweight as a kid and it followed me into my adult life. I recently had weight loss surgery for the 2nd time on 7/21/23. Having had the surgery twice is embarrassing and deflating to say the least.
I am proud of myself for not giving up and continuing to prioritize my health. Sometimes it just feels like I don’t have enough will power and that I’m just “white knuckling” my way through weight loss.
I do see a therapist regularly and am on medication for depression and anxiety. I also meditate, journal, and keep a gratitude list daily. I try to fill my free time with meaningful activities that fill me up, mostly spending face to face quality time with friends and family. I take 30 minute walks outside to my local neighborhood park every day as well.
Sometimes I just feel like throwing my hands up and giving up on weight loss altogether.
What keeps you motivated?
