Weight loss is slowing down to a snai's pace. Having difficulty accepting this.
Need to figure out how to be ok with this, that's what I am struggling with.
I know I can't continue to lose 4-5 lbs per week that I did @ the beginning of my
journey. However this 1-2 lbs a month crap is for the birds. I have appt w/plastic
surgeon for a body scan analysis (???) to detertmine how much skin needs to be
removed. I believe that hearing from a medical professional that I have 20 lbs or more
of excess skin to be removed will help me deal with my weight loss slow down and
help me to be ok with where I am at. I am not afraid of hard work, I have been on this
journey for about 21 months now. I do not feel that I am "done" with my weight loss.
I know I am getting closer to where I want to be, but I think it's a real possiblity that
my body is getting "comfortable" where I am at right now: 198. This is too close to
200 lbs for me to be "comfortable" at this weight (198.) I will be joining a new gym soon
and looking into getting a personal trainer to help me achieve my goals. If I have 20 lbs
of excess skin that will be removed down the line, then that brings me to 178, which is
only 23 lbs away from my goal of 155. I don't want this last 23 lbs to take another year
to come off. I don't even want it to take 6 months. I am willing to work hard to get more
weight off. I just need to figure out what I need to do to make that happen & hopefully
with the assitance of a personal trainer I will get more of the results I am looking for.

I hope everyone is doing well. I would love to hear updates !!!!

Take care,
Doirinne :-)
