Thank you so much for your reply! There's a lot of really good suggestions here. And congrats on your success!!

Thank you!! Good advice.

You're 100% right. I need to adjust this mindset. Thank you for your wisdom! I'll work to remember it.

That actually makes so much sense!! Thank you for this.

Yeah? Okay that's good to know, thank you! I would like to lose more, but technically I only have to lose 6 or 8 pounds to be back in tbe "normal" BMI range.

This is wonderful advice. Thanks so much for your reply!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you replying. I'll talk to my doctor about it when I see him next month.

That's a super helpful suggestion. And I like the idea of a small range. Thank you for the idea!!

"Find your new normal". I really really like that. Thank you!!

Wow, thank you for such a detailed reply. Everything you said makes sense. I do think you're right that my mentality is the problem. I'm impatient for change but I'm also a really black-and-white thinker in general. Something to work on, for sure.

Kind of both, but mostly just overeating in a stressed out way.

Hmmm. I'm technically only a few pounds overweight, so is 2 pounds unreasonable? Should it be 1, or 1.5 instead? I suppose I'm just impatient!!

Hmm, maybe you're right. I know I had trouble with being obsessed about numbers in the past... I just don't know how else to lose weight without tracking how much I'm eating!

Yes I did

I don't think that sounds stupid at all!! I think that's great idea, maybe I'll give that a go. I'm also bad for being hungry in the evenings and wanting to snack.

And you're still able to lose weight that way? I guess I'm just stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset.

You make a good point, thank you for your insight! My calorie goal is 1200, that's what the app calculated for me.
