    Sticking with it when the scale shows that I've put on a pound (or three). It's almost always just natural fluctuation.

    Keeping going when you don't lose any weight for several weeks in a row. That's always been the diet-killer for me in the past...

    starting
    all the years of not caring and indulging become routine, breaking that routine is the hardest part,

    Maintenance... it is easy to cut food intake, watch the pounds drop and be hungry... but so much harder to maintain a low calorie diet and be hungry.

    For me it is binge eating when I am unhappy or stressed. Without junk food, I would truly struggle to keep my calories up to 1500 - but this is something I am working on :-)

    Not being able to exercise the way that I want because of double knee replacements and the restrictions placed on me by my ortho doctor.

    As I lost weight, I became stronger and my mind could envision me doing more than my body told me I could do. So I listened to my mind and would end up with injuries that would then side-line me from exercising for a couple of weeks by my doctor.

    I feel like this is slowing my weight loss down and was hoping I would have reached my goal by now. But like my motto says: Patience + Perseverance = Payoff. So I am hanging in there,

    For me, being about 7 pounds away from my goal and not going down anymore despite trying different things. On the bright side, it does mean I have more less maintained 4 months.

    I'm realizing that this isn't a weight loss journey. It's a lifestyle change.
    This is so true!! You have to get past the diet part and realize this is a Forever Lifestyle change. It can be done!! :happy:

    Meeeeee toooooooo! Hungry and not able to remind myself that it is OK to be hungry, that it won't kill me, that hunger pangs usually pass if you wait them out....

    Realizing that you are never "done."

    If you start relaxing, the weight will come back.

    I hate having to be vigilant at every social gathering/holiday/special event. It's amazing how frequently these things come up and how much centers around food.....especially high calorie food. I miss joining in without thinking about how much i was eating.

    Hardest thing about losing weight.............being consistent, believing in myself, developing a daily routine, eating better, and having confidence in my abilities. The process at first was very tough, but after doing it and believing more in myself it is easier.
