    Every victory needs to he celebrated. Don't think about losing 80 lbs. Think about losing 5 this month. Then smile and know your hard work is paying off.

    This. Map out your weight loss in chunks and set smaller goals.
    2 good threads to read in the success stories forum.

    Non scale victories. Things other than the scale number to celebrate

    Mini goals

    I've hit 20% gone. Next goal is to be Class I obese (~255).

    I agree with most said here. What changed for me is that I was always hard on myself for being fat. Now I truly love myself for how I look today. My work is for my health and comes from a place of kindness and gentleness. However I push the crap out of myself when I workout but it is positive. This is a great thing you are doing for you. It is not a punishment and you are beautiful right now but you can be better! Set realistic goals, don't have all your success determined from the scale and start loving yourself!

    Don't get overwhelmed! Consider starting smaller and trying for 5 or 10lb first. Track everything and get a bit of light exercise in. When you start to see the scale creep down you will feel motivated to keep it up. :)

    Find some foods you like that are lower calorie but fill you up. I'm into chicken chilli, overnight oats, and yogurt fruit parfaits.
