How do you motivate yourself? Why can't I just cut the fat off and be skinny already 😢.

Yeah, this kind of thinking always ends in a binge for me. I find losing weight slowly so triggering and i end up think what's the point, i'll never get to where i want to be anyway - so end up screwing myself over even more by ruining it all. I try to think of my end goal, even if i'm losing slowly, i am stil losing and will /eventually/ get to where i want to be and tbh it's probably more sustainable doing it that way anyway.

Because I know that if I ever eat normal again. I will gain the weight back. Maybe I'm not getting skinny in the time that I want it. But if I eat normal I never will be

I've been feeling that way. I started off losing a lot of weight and now I've only lost 2.8lbs in the past 14 days. I feel defeated and hungry but I'm more scared to give up and stay fat.

Every time I look at the Losertown calculator. One time it said I'd lose about 1-2pounds a week at 200 FREAKING calories a day! So it would've taken me months and months to reach my goal. But then I started doing keto and restricting, and I averaged about a pound a day. I just had to keep pushing and keep moving forward.

And like "waitingforhope" said, is always end up binging when I'd see how little weight I'd lose. I thought "whats the point if I'm gonna be fat forever?

Absolutely. I'm struggling right now because my weight's been about the same for a long time and I think I actually might have gained? But I'm going to be stricter with myself from now on (and better about weighing myself too). I want to lose 10-15 more pounds but I'm scared it will take forever/never get there

I looked at my hipbones and thought that they were too fat & I'll never be skinny enough to wear smaller size clothing because of them. They're bones. I don't need patience, just a basic understanding of how human bodies work. :wacko:
