Great job so far Rob. Amazing that you lost 80 pounds last year.
By setting your goal weight of 189 pounds and putting a time limit on that, and
telling all of us about it, you're really putting yourself out there. I'm impressed.
Based on what you've written, I'd say your motivation is right on point. Sometimes
habits like binge eating get in the way and it's easy to call that a lack of
motivation. It's not. It's just a habit.
As far as energy, it doesn't always have to do with what you're eating, although
eating well definitely helps with energy. Maybe sometimes you're just bored!
What activities give you energy? You mentioned that you love running. I'd definitely keep doing that. What else gives you energy? It can be anything, not just physical activities.
Also, you're in the process of change now. Remember to be kind to yourself. The period when we're changing the most is when we're most likely to beat ourselves up. At least that's what I've found in my experience.
Looking forward to continuing to hear about your journey.
Chris
