How to keep going when you feel your weight loss isn't "good enough" (lemmy.ml)

I made a new year's resolution this year to lose weight. I started at 265 at the beginning of the year. I have been making a lot of changes to my lifestyle, and I've been working really hard and very slowly losing weight. I am at 246 today, and I feel like my progress isn't good enough. I spent 10 months really trying, and for what? Not even twenty pounds? I don't really feel or look a lot different. I put in so much work and I feel really discouraged from continuing. How do you keep going? I feel like I'll never get to a healthy weight.

Even if you don't feel or look different now, in 10 years, your joints will thank you for not having to lug around those extra 20 pounds.

Don't subscribe to the idea that your weight loss progress must be on a schedule, that's total bullshit.
