It's so odd to me to look back on how I got to where I am. I can distinctly remember being 80 pounds at 8 years old and being ashamed of it, and somewhere among those 11 years that passed by I more than doubled that number. And somewhere along the line I must have been what is now my goal weight, I couldn't have just skipped it entirely, but for me it's so hard to image what it was like and what it will be like. Probably because I wasn't healthy even when I was at that weight, so once I get there it will be a whole new experience.
As someone who has tried and failed to lose weight before, the progress I'm making now just feels so temporary. Before I would just try to workout more and maybe eat less junk, but I never really committed to a lifestyle change. Now that I'm holding myself accountable and tracking everything I'm seeing progress physically, I'm just waiting for my mindset to catch up with me. I suppose it's just really hard for me to get used to believing CICO is actually working for me and that this is something that will last if I want it to. I guess I've just never seen myself as someone who can lose weight and keep it off and really be successful in that.
Does anyone else ever feel that way? How do you wrap your mind around the fact that you're actually doing it and it's working? Does it get easier the more you lose or is it something you have to actively think about and work on?
