weight loss motivation

I have been going to the gym consistently for months, lost 1.5st (21lbs) and want to lose another 2-2.5 (28-35lbs). I have upped my exercise to classes 4x a week, PT once a week, along with swimming, gym, hiking when I can, 10k steps a day and eating within a 500-700 caloric deficit. It will take me probably another 6-8 months to lose the weight I want to lose.

On the other side of things, my mum started taking these weight loss jags. She has lost 3 stone within a few months without doing any exercise, she actually probably eats more now than she used to. She walks the dog for MAYBE 10 minutes every other day and that’s all the exercise she does.

I’m feeling really bitter and jealous because I am putting in hard work and knowing that other people are getting the results I want ‘easier’. I don’t want to use these jags cause I have other issues with them (health concerns, mental health affect etc) not to mention the price it’s just that any time I’m getting tired or a bit burnt out and need to re-motivate myself, or my mum is talking about buying smaller clothes etc I get really pissed off and it’s not really rational.

Kind of just wanted to vent but if anyone has any tips for staying motivated and to keep showing up they would be appreciated.
