having trouble being patient...

kobashi

I am steadily losing weight.. Around .5 lb per day. I feel like it's slow. I eat very healthy and keep active. I just feel like I am ready to look how I feel. I am tired of being a fat person on the outside and being the most healthy person I know on the inside.

Anyone else feel this way or have felt it before?

I know that at this rate ill be my goal in two to three months. I just feel like it's going so slow.

just want opinions...

This is exactly how I feel. I get so impatient and depressed sometimes because I feel like everything should be happening faster. I'm working my *kitten* off, why can't the weight just melt off..

then I remind myself, your more likely to keep the weight off if you lose it over a longer period of time. Not easy of course, but important to remember.

Its tough, but somehow you have to see it like this:
if you were at your goal or even halfway, youd feel inspired right?

so the only way to get there is through the road your on now.
If everyday hyou do what youre supposed to, you should see that the same as youd see acheiving your goal.

Cause you are the closest to your goal that you can possibly be right now!

I feel the same I when I train BJJ I can't move well off my back and I always wonder how good I'd be if my fat gut wasn't in the way. Sometimes I wish I could just wake up one day 100 pounds lighter. If your losing .5 a pound a day it add up to 3.5 pounds a week. Your still losing it fast and staying healthy. You may not want to lose it too fast because it will gain back and it starts cutting from water weight and muscle instead of fat. I started tracking my waistline measurements because there is weeks the scale doesn't move but if I lose inches I know I'm losing fat

I guess the issue is.. I'm at the weight now that I was years ago. I have yet to conquer a new adult weight... I'm not far though..

I didn't exercise the last three days. Been full of excuses.. My eating had been great though. I know that a healthy lifestyle has to have both parts. I guess I've just been lazy because of long work days. Is it okay to be lazy two days out of the week? Seriously doubt it.

I know how you feel but be thankful you are where YOU are, I won't see "Goal" for at the very least another year and a half.

I know the feeling. I started this journey in Jan. Lost 7 lbs and have gained back 2 and have been stuck here ever since. I drink lots of water and try to eat right. In the gym 5 days a week for 30-40 min before work. About ready to think I am meant to be 180 at 5'3".

I will like to say something not just for you all, but for myself also:

ENJOY THE PROCESS!

Other people are noticing it... But not me. I feel very little progress
