We spend so much time scrolling this subreddit and others like it - seeing before/after pictures of people who have already made it to their desired weight.
Although, this is super motivating, it also causes us to compare our own stats/time/progress/body to what we're seeing.
We see our progress as inadequate. We think it took us too long to lose what we have lost. We say things like - "I've ONLY lost × pounds." We think about the pounds left to lose over the pounds already lost.
I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone on here who is STILL trying.
Shout out to people starting. Shout out to people restarting. Shout out to people in maintenance. Shout out to people at their "goal weight." Shout out to people who feel they've fallen off the wagon.
Wherever this post is meeting you in your weight-loss journey - your progress is still worthy of being celebrated and you owe it to yourself to remember that and never forget it.
YOU DID IT. YOU'RE DOING IT. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU WILL KEEP DOING IT.
Ending this post with a few props for myself. I'm 35 pounds into my journey, I have 100 pounds to go. I DID THAT.
✌
