Feeling discouraged

wtfwhyaretheyalltaken

Hi,
I didn't really know where else to put this, and here seemed appropriate. I don't even really know what to say, but sure I'll give it a stab.

It's not that I feel like giving up, like I feel that I have changed my relationship with food, and with myself but at the same time I feel like I'm getting nowhere. Which I know is ridiculous. I'm almost halfway to my GW and I am noticing changes, but I'm starting to just kinda feel like I'm never gonna get there.

I see pictures of people with similar starting weight as me, but when they've gotten to the point where I am now, there always seems to be a much more pronounced change than what I'm seeing. I dunno, it just feels kinda like no matter what I do I'm just never gonna have a figure that I can dress nicely, and be proud of.

Am I being ridiculous? I feel like I am, but it's just where my mind's at. Thanks

You have to remember that everyone's body is different and will look different at certain times in their journey. If you're seeing progress, that's what's important! When you compound even small improvements over a long time you will get to where you want to be!

True!
Also, are you doing any strength / resistance / weight lifting in your exercise routine? That goes a long way towards body composition.
And I'm sure that you realize that fat comes off wherever it comes off, right?
For me, it sometimes comes off strange places that I didn't even realize had fat... Like my forearms! Lol! WTF? Thighs still bigger than I like, but I have some skinny, sexy forearms! :laugh:
Hang in there... It will get better!
