  1. Sometimes it's hard to not get down on myself for not losing enough weight this week, not meeting my mini-goal by the end of the year, not liking what I see in the mirror, etc... but I just have to keep reminding myself that I've lost over 130 pounds... and that's a significant achievement!

      I did the same thing, Chrmow. I'm going on vacation in less than 2 weeks and I wanted to be at 185 by that time. I'm within 10 pounds of that, so it's not terrible, but Djmohr is right - I shouldn't have assigned a number to a specific amount of time. No plans to give up here and I've accepted that it will take a bit longer for me than it has for many others I've seen post on BP. I was a pretty slow loser from the get-go. However, I am the lowest weight I've been at in my adult life and at the smallest size I can remember, too! These last 20-30 pounds are definitely proving to be stubborn. I do have a bit of body dysmorphia but it's something I've been working on with my therapist so I'm optimistic that I'll get over it someday. Thanks to everyone for your comments :)

      I said in my status that losing 130 pounds is a significant achievement. I was trying to pat myself on the back for it, despite how some days it's hard to not get down on myself because I wanted it to be more. I'm 15 months out. But thanks, anyway :)

  3. The lowest weight I can recall seeing on a scale was 198.6 when I was 15 years old. I'm now officially below that!
