So I've been 10 lbs away from my goal for over 6 months now. During the 6 months, I went on three out of town business trips, and also tried the military diet, which I do not recommend. At some point, I went down to 6 lbs away from my goal, but then gain it back within three weeks when my family visited me. Good thing is, now I know I am capable of maintaining my weight. But I am not satisfied.
To me, to achieve my goal is more than just getting to a number on the scale. It's much more symbolic than that. Some friend of mine had suggested that I get rid of my scale, and just focus on staying on this new healthy life style. But I really do think I could get there if I just push myself a little harder.
Everyone gets on a weight loss journey for personal reasons. I'm doing it to find myself again; to re-invent who I am; and to learn to love myself better. I am very short, only 5' 1", and currently weight 122 lbs. I was 112 lbs when I was in college, and when I first met my ex. Since my divorce, I've been actively looking for opportunities to prove to myself that I could achieve anything I set my mind to. Weight-loss is one of these precious opportunities for me.
I know a part of the challenge is that my body now feels like it's at a healthy weight. Since I'm now in my 30s, my metabolism is no where as fast as when I was in my 20s. But still, I want to reach my goal. There's nothing wrong to go the extra miles just to be a even more healthier.
For those who doesn't have anything positive to say, and let's be honest, there are a lot of judgmental people on this site because battling with one's insecurity while battling with weight-loss is part of the game, I sincerely ask you to please withheld your judgement and hold your tongue. I know I'm small already, but I still have the right to try to get to the best version of me. So please, respect my choice, and do not leave a common.
For those who are on the same boat with me, please add me as your friend. I'll be honored to join you on the end of your weight-loss journey, and also your journey to maintain your weight. I promise to stay present, always be sensitive and considerate, and shower you with love and support on this journey. Lets reach our goals and get rid of those last 10 vanity pounds together!
