I don't know if my pics are inspirational but I'll add them-
5 months sleeved today! Down 80- still feel like its not quite good enough as I can't really see the diff- I hold on to the fact that I'm smaller now so I should be able to see the next 80 or even 40.... I hope - I was a tight-not fitting- 26 now I'm at a 22

I saw a therapist who specializes in eating disorders
I tried to have a true balanced diet with mostly Protein but did eat whatever I wanted nothing was off limits I just tried to focus on organic natural real foods
And tried to. It be hard on myself
I also logged daily on MFP (my fitness pal) whether I'd had 100 cals that day or 3000
In the past month I've turned to more plant based/vegan type diet - not fir weightloss nessisarily tho it was more of a spiritual new direction in my life type thing
Always love yourself your not perfect and u will have slight ups and downs on the scale but it will go back down

My personal opinion:
May not be the popular vote but... I think most people harp on the Protein bandwagon too strongly-
I was never as high on protein as others told me I should be-
In fact I'm actually 100% vegan now and eat no animal products at all--
I am about 18 mo out and I'm down 160 - started at 319 and I am now 159-162-- bouncing right now
I feel so much healthier than I did- u will be just fine  

Lovely, beautiful, great pictures!!!!
Everyone is doing so well!!
I've been sleeved since feb 25, 2013 so about a lil over 19 mo- a lol over a year and a half- wow almost 2 years in feb! That's crazy!!! Still not quite at goal- but in not really sure what goal is - lol
Before
