I'm wondering tonight if it's really possible for me to lose over 100 pounds. I know that's it's possible in theory but is it something I can do. I've seen other people do it so know it can be done. I think my mindset has been that I can't lose the weight, that I'll be overweight for the rest of my life. With WW I know I can do it if I just focus on 5 lbs at a time and not look at the entirety of what I have to lose. I think it's because I'm so sore today that I'm feeling like it's not possible. Will I ever not hurt this much? It's almost too much to imagine. I've asked others on the WW online community what made the difference for them. Did it happen in a moment or was it over time? Or a little of both? I'm wondering how my mindset can change.
I know I'm doing a lot of things right:
* going to 3 meetings a week
* being active in the online community
* tracking everything I eat or drink, good or bad
* making healthier choices each day
* trying to get in my GHG's every day
* increasing my activity
I also know there are still things I'm not doing great at but I try not to focus on that. I try to change it but not think about it constantly.
I know it's going to take time and I feel like I'm being patient knowing that I can only lose 1/2 to 2 lbs. a week. At my weight though that's going to be a long time. I think I'm just facing my mortality this week. I'm not going to live forever, especially with my health problems because of my weight. Who knows how many years I have left. I know it could be decades and I think that scares me because I can't survive like this for decades. Not being happy anyway. I'm miserable and I feel it every day. I want to feel better physically and mentally every day even if it's not losing weight. If I'm making changes that are healthy and positive that will be a plus too.
Just feeling pensive tonight and wondering if it will happen for me.
