I think we all need the same pep talk at times. I lose really slowly, so sometimes it's hard to stay motivated. These are the 2 things that I try and remind myself when I'm feeling like throwing in the towel because the weight isn't coming off as quickly as I would like.
1 - I feel soooo much better when I eat this way. Think of all the good things you notice besides the weight loss and remind yourself that you are doing this for reason besides losing weight.
2 - A pound a week over a year is 52 lbs. That's no little feat. Yeah, so it might not be as fast as we want it to be or as much as we want it to be, but it's still 52 lbs. I don't know about you, but if I were to quit, not only would I not weigh 52 lbs less in one year, but I would probably weigh 10 or 20 lbs more. So I have to ask myself which is better. Like someone said in an above reply: One day at a time and over time it adds up.
