11 Of The Biggest Things I Stopped Doing To Lose 90 Pounds - WITH PICS! *What have YOU had to STOP?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This list is so on point. I have copied and placed it on my desk top to view whether I start listening to that mean little voice that keeps trying to tell me I will not make it to goal. The liar! You look simply marvelous. Keep up the good work.

Great list, especially no end date -- this is life instead. Not a bad idea to cut and paste it too when the times get tough. Well done and thanks for posting.

Best list ever! 100% agree on everything. For me, #6 was really important. I had to learn to forgive myself for getting fat. Getting fit is an act of self-love. I had to believe I was worthy of that self-love.

And #11. Having hope that I would be successful, that I wouldn't quit half way or gain it all back has been a game changer.

If I can add another: Stop setting limits on what you think you are capable of doing. There is something about living so many years as a fat person that causes one to be overly cautious. I still find myself doubting my body, not giving myself enough credit for how strong and powerful I am. So, I am learning to take more risks and test my limits.

@Sweetincense, here’s some volume eating ideas

Thank you so much for putting into writing the insights you have gained. I think that stop stopping, there is no end date and stop listening to most people resonate the most with me. I am learning to trust myself and listen to satiety cues.

One to add. I have had to stop using food for entertainment, recreation, escape or to nurture my hurts. I’ve always heard people say that food is fuel but i just couldn’t relate. I am beginning to really understand what that means and consider that when meal planning. .

This is wonderful!!! I have also saved it and printed it out for motivation. I would like to have some constant friends and support on here... I'm a consistent logger (over 6 years now) and love getting insights from others.

I'd love any friend requests, but please send a note with it!

Wonderful advice and words of wisdom. Thank you for sharing!!

I have to stop thinking it will never happen for me.
I also need to toss the "I'm stressed" excuse.
I eat too much and obviously repeat the pattern more than I care to admit.
I've had to give up believing I'm a victim.

Your honesty gives me pause and I've done some much needed self reflection. Thank you for allowing me to share in your success.

I had to stop drinking SODA!

Omigawd, soda is THE DEVIL. One can of Mountain Dew = 300 calories. You could have a WHOLE MEAL for that caloric intake! Empty calories will get you every time.
