Firstly thank you /r/loseit for all the motivational pics, stories and advice. I don’t post much but this place has been a huge source of motivation and discipline for me.
Just wanted to share a recent SV. My whole adult life I’ve been 220+, which since I’m 6’, also means I’ve always been obese. I’ve usually hovered between 250-260. The two previous times I’ve lost weight, I’ve found my motivation melt away at around 220, never crossed the barrier, and gradually gone back to my previous default of 250-260.
This time is different. I started in November last year at around 265. At the start of this month I hit my first goal of 220 - this is also the point where I am no longer obese. A big milestone for me, but one I’ve hit before, lost motivation, and backslid.
The best advice I read came from this subreddit - motivation comes and goes, but discipline is constant and gets you to your goal. My discipline is still strong, and I’m still losing - now down to 216, and already have my eye on the next goal.
One more piece of advice: if you are in a position to get therapy, and think you might need it; get therapy. It was hugely helpful for me in learning to value myself enough to make a change.
Good luck to everyone reading this. You can do it!
