Ups and downs, swings and roundabouts...goal: to get to 140lbs!

[Evy]

I've been struggling the past few months with my weight, things going on in my life have meant that my weight loss has stalled and I gained a few lbs! I said to myself that I would never go again go above 11st (154lbs) - I really want to achieve my goal this time round of 140lbs (10st). I have very low self esteem and even though it may not seem that way I have very poor body image and some days I feel very depressed! Even though I've lost around 40lbs, I'm not happy...I'm going to focus on this goal to get to 140lbs and try not to let things in my life such as relationships and work effect me so much!

Hey lovely, welcome to the forum. I'm a tall girl as well! 5'10 like you Amazon women! I'm currently at your highest weight so inspiring to see that you can do it! Is 140 a little too small for your frame? xx

Welcome Evy!

Your story looks like mine, but you are closer to your weight goal already than I am of mine!!! So that's awesome! 13 lbs is totally doable! And congrats on your 5 lb weight loss that you already accomplished. Fantastic.

This goes hand and hand with poor eating habits for many of us. May I suggest that you work on that along with your weight loss journey? You may find that its easier to lose weight. One thing I learned about myself, and this may not apply to you, is that even when I was thin I still had a poor self image. Weight didn't really seem to matter. I could always find something wrong about myself. One way to do this is to find something about yourself that you appreciate and say it out loud multiple times a day. And if you find yourself saying negative things maybe try saying something positive at the end. Like "well at least I am committed to making a change" or "Ok, so I don't like this about myself, but I have a great smile."

Aww thank you! Good luck with reaching your goal ! I don't know how long I will be able to keep it up for - I'm very hungry at the moment, but it's almost midnight here and I'm going to bed soon so I won't eat anything lol!
