I started this journey with a specific weight in mind. I had 50 lbs to lose to get to that weight...I have currently lost 22 lbs ..3 more and I am at my 1/2 way point I should be extremely happy. Which part of me is..but another part of me thinks 50 is not going to be enough. My BMI will be right at the top of healthy for my height...when I look at myself I don't see much change from 22 lbs ago so I don't feel that 27 more lbs will make a difference. My goal is 170 and I haven't weighed that since I think 7th grade so I have NO idea what that looks like on me. I guess I'm just scared I am going to have ANOTHER 25 to go after I hit my goal ...ugh

    I want to stop you right there - you need to give yourself FAR more credit than you are already! 22lbs is an amazing loss. Take this process one step at a time. You are HALF WAY toward your first goal - think how badly you wanted to say that a few months ago?!

    Maybe you'll reach goal and decide to lose more. Maybe you'll decide to stop losing BEFORE you even get there. Maybe you'll get to goal and think "I DID IT!!!!!". This is all about working with how we feel. You are doing fantastically. Well done :)
