  • Your issue may have to do more with your psyche than a caloric deficit. I am a self sabotuer. When I'm "good" with food and diet, I "reward" myself with junk food. When I don't see weight loss with my personal training, I "justify" the price tag by eating junk so I can blame the failure to lose weight on my bad diet rather…

  • Good for you! I am also an emotional eater. I eat when I'm bored, stressed, tired, procrastinating. It's a hard habit to kick but it sounds like you have a great outlet through Alanon.
    in Over Eaters? Emotional Eaters? AL-ANON? And weight loss.. Comment by TubbyTattle August 2019
  • YES. Because I am short and naturally curvy I get a lot of comments about my weight loss and how I don't need to lose more. I find myself having to justify further weight loss, which is ridic. I look in the mirror and I'm not happy. I step on the scale and I know there are taller men that weigh less than me, and I am…

  • I don't want to be the fat coworker who has to wear sweaters because her suit jackets don't fit. I don't want to be the fat bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. I don't want to be fat in my engagement photos. I don't want to be a plus size bride. I want to save money by being able to fit into a sample dress.

  • I'm not eating McDonalds as regularly as I used to, I use a personal trainer twice a week, I made a point of eating healthier, on most weeks I was at the gym up to 4 times a week.

  • Congrats!! I have found that complacency is my biggest enemy in the second half of weight loss. Now that I feel better, more clothes fit, and everyone compliments me, I find myself slacking. I am trying hard to avoid the mentality of, "I lost 30 lb before, I'll just lose it again if I gain it back!" It was a long, painful…

  • I like to take Zumba, Turbokick, and UJam classes at my gym. It gets me out of the house and away from my phone. I have a pinched nerve in my neck, too. I am trying to make time for acupuncture, it helps for this kind of thing.

  • I did get this a lot, and I honestly think people are just trying to be polite. What else are they going to say? "You're still fat"? Haha I, too, struggled with the compliments, though. My weight loss counselor said when people start noticing and commenting on your weight loss, that's when you tend to get lazy and self…
