I just wanted to hop on here and encourage all of you to keep going. Especially when you feel like your progress has stalled. Especially when you feel like it's all taking too long.
If you lose one pound a week, then a year from now you'll be down 52 lbs.
Yeah, it would be nice to have all the weight gone by tomorrow, but if you do it unsustainably then it'll all come back quickly. A year or two is not a very long time in the grand scheme of life. If you stick with your healthy new habits it will get easier, and you will have long-term sustainable weightloss.
The only way to fail is to quit trying. I know it sounds cliche, but for many of us the real problem is not the 4 cookies we just ate, but our tendency to give up at the first setback. Don't go looking for reasons to get off track. When you "mess up" or deviate from your plan, get back on track. Don't think of it as "damage," think of it as progress - in learning how to pick yourself back up and keep going. Congratulate yourself for undoing all of the negative and unsustainable weight loss thoughts that you've been taught. Congratulate yourself for today...one step closer to the rest of your life.
