Feeling discouraged

I'm right there with you. I lost about 25 pounds a year and a half ago then fell off the wagon. Monday I decided.. Today is the day to get in control of my health.. Again. I'm only on day 4 and I find myself thinking the same things but I keep remembering back to when I lost that 25 pounds. It's so easy to feel discouraged and tired but when you look in the mirror and see less bumps it becomes kind of like an addiction. The next day you'll look in the mirror and look for the next accomplishment. Keep up the hard work. You're not alone.0

Patience is definitely a biggie. It took me 4mths to lose 24lbs and it's going to take me a further 4mths to lose the remaining 8lbs. I just have to grit my teeth and know I'm in this for the long haul. In the end our patience will be rewarded xx0

Eating "clean" means nothing in terms of your weight loss.
Nothing.
Eating at a Caloric Deficit means everything.
Everything.0 -
Three words, weigh your food. Boom, done :-)0

put everything you eat in your food diary to the best of your ability. you may be eating clean but still over your calorie goal.
Good luck0 -

Well done on the success so far! I'm 75% of the way to my goal and doing better than ever. Yet I still get those thoughts, despite doing well -They are just thoughts. They are not reality no matter how real they feel. The mind game is a big part of making success sustainable. So, somewhere along your journey it may be helpful to try some CBT, ACT or DBT skills. A therapist or coach may help, but self-help goes a long way too.0
