[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing weight is hard but I find all the things that come with being overweight harder (feeling uncomfortable in public, being excessively hot and tired out, clothes not fitting, not liking what I see in the mirror). Also one way to keep yourself motivated is to look at the small amounts you are losing and see where that trajectory will leave you a few months from now (eg if you lost one pound this week, think of how much you will weigh in two months if you keep losing one pound a week). Two or three months is also when summer is about to hit - that should provide some motivation! :) [/quote]

Yep- same here.

I also totally agree with the above. It sucks hating the way you look. I lost about 15lbs since November and I love the boost in confidence it gave me. I went clothes shopping on Sunday and it was a great feeling to not have to be scared to look into the mirror when trying on clothes  Getting to this point has not been easy, but it did not totally suck either and really it does not have to if you approach weight loss the right way. I still have a cookie or some chocolate everyday but I watch carefully how much I eat in total without doing crazy low calories (roughly 1700-2000 calories a day) and I workout regularly, which is fortunately something I thoroughly enjoy. I am quite excited about shaving off the final five pounds. OP, you might just need to adjust your attitude to fat loss. It does not have to be depressing and it most definitely is worth it. Feeling good about yourself is priceless. [/quote]
