I have lost 47lbs, from 279 to 232lb, over 4 months. As a 5'4, 27 year old female, I still have a long way to go and rationally know I am losing weight quickly; however i get frustrated not being able to see it on myself, even though people have commented.
So, instead I'm going to show gratitude for:
More energy
Confidence is rising
My improved mental health
That I've moved from a BMI of 47 to 39, taking me from morbidly obese to plain old obese (for now!)
That despite this frustration, I feel absolutely no need to go back to bad eating habits. I love the way I eat.
That I've done this despite being diagnosed as having PCOS 8 years ago.
I've also never waivered from the way I've been eating - not even quarantine, giving up smoking, and breaking up from a 'situationship' - on my account because I realised I'm worth the love and respect I've been offloading to others, and it's finally time to love myself enough to take care of myself.
And I'm doing it! Once I think about all that, then I'm so bloody proud of myself.
Give yourself credit where credit is due, guys.
