Needing some encouragement and pushing!

JenCM

I've been on this journey since October and I've lost about 2/3 of the weight I want to lose. The last 70 lbs now feels like a "homestretch" to me and I'm just flat out anxious to get it off, to get this 42 lbs off and finally be under 200 lbs (for the first time in like 8 years!)....But I've been doing the weeble wobble on the scale now since May. The same 10 lbs, gained and lost, gained and lost. I admittedly have had more days in these months that I ate off plan because of events where I ended up not having much control over the food. But I've kept eating well at all the times between, changed up my exercise, etc. I'm not losing inches either. Granted, I'm happy I haven't GAINED 30 lbs back or something, but I'm feeling incredible discouragement begin to weight on my shoulders and my little "fat voice" inside, that I've successfully kept blocked out so well since October, is now whispering in my ear and has decided it wants to be fed and if doesn't see the point in exercise. It's just beating me down and I really need some MFP help and encouragement here. =/

DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Put that evil voice to the side and remember you have come this far and only a little way to go. The struggle will not end there you will still have to keep the weight off but that should be the easy part!! Just remember to keep making the smart choices on what to eat when out at BBQ's or whatever event you may go to where you are not cooking. If your stuck on a plataeu, give yourself a break for a couple days and come back to it, that always helps me. Congratulations on your weight loss so far, thats amazing and inspires me!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks all. It's just gotten hard lately for some reason. I'm trying to power through it my best...it's just harder almost to battle the mental stuff than get through the physical trials.
