I'm not going to lose anymore. I saw my goal in the mirror today

-

Go to your mirror and look at yourself naked. Be proud! You and you alone keep that alive and made those changes. Imagine what you'll be seeing in 3, 6, 12 months.

I'm holding steady between 143 and 148. I thought I wanted to get down to 136 until I caught myself naked yesterday and finally felt happy with my reflection. I actually saw a woman's body like those in Renaissance paintings! Plump little belly, thick thighs, wide hips, soft and feminine. I don't have to look like a Greek goddess statue. I'm fine where I am. A little extra skin, stretch marks from the miracle of child bearing, smaller breasts with a little sag, and none of that worries me anymore.

I've gotten my permanent eating habits in place, keep the calories low and nutritious, eat in my 8 hour window, etc. I need to get back to working out for keeping my heart healthy and my muscles strong, but that's it. I am finished. I never thought I'd get to this point, but I persevered and broke all those plateaus and fought hard for this happiness. 6 months of work for happiness to last the rest of my life. I hope you read this and felt inspired and encouraged to keep on pushing through to your goals.

Go look at yourself and feel proud.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this self esteem issue after a plateau...

Hey there! So I (28F) am someone with a fairly significant amount of weight to lose. About 3 years ago, I lost 50 lbs. Though I still have a long way to go before I achieve what I would consider a goal weight, at the time that I hit the 50 lb mark, I felt absolutely amazing. My self confidence was at an all time high. I just generally felt so much better and I was fitting into clothes I’d never been able to wear before. I really felt fantastic about myself. Since then I’ve maintained that weight with a small amount of fluctuation, but I feel totally different. I’ve realized that I think it’s because I’ve become accustomed to this weight as my new norm, and because it’s still not technically a healthy weight, I now feel terrible about myself. I’m so unhappy with my appearance and the way my clothes fit despite being the exact same weight I was at the tail end of my 50 lb loss several years ago. I’ve recently gotten back into the weight loss groove but I’m so impatient to see progress

30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 31 + Wrap Up!

It’s here...end of March. Time to wrap it all the way and prepare for April lads and lassies! So let’s see how we did. Diet/Lifestyle Change : I want to weigh 260 by the end of the month. (I made it to 260! I barely made it but we made it fam. Time to crank for April since I want to drop 15 pounds but I’m ready to go hard.) Food: Meat is only allowed 4x a month (didn’t cheat 04/04) Food: Snacks! I suck at it, I still love my potatoes (Not bad. I nipped my candy and I didn’t overload on carbs. I wanted fries today and stopped to get Vietnamese instead. I’m learning bit by bit.) Draw at least one thing a day (sucked at this one) Dance: I need to get my cardio up and I hate running, so I want to take at least two dance classes a week. (Didn’t get my 2x a week but tried to supplement with dance when I could. Work caused me to cancel most of the time but I’m going to get back at it. I need that time for me even with the late nights.) Write: Have a new idea for either my first
