I believe that I shared that I look at each 10 pounds as a decade, rather than the overwhelming amount that I had started with. Much easier mentally to do it that for me.

To tell myself: You can lose 10 pounds! When I accomplish that, I move onto the next 10.

Exercise is key too. I had stopped walking for several months but am back to that again.

When my dogs died I just stopped caring and it was shocking how fast the pounds came back on. I gained back 10 of my 50, in less than 6-months!

I am actually losing the same pounds I already lost damn-it!

Oh well, did it before, will do it again!

Hang in there everyone

Wooooooohooo Anya, that is awesome! I love your idea of using 10 pounds as a decade Hey, anything that keeps us motivated... I say do it!

It is so much easier to focus on weight loss in small increments... and 10 pounds at a time is the way to do it! It keeps us from being so overwhelmed thinking "oh crap, I've gotta lose 100 pounds". Yeah, that would certainly sabatoge even the strongest of wills!

We are all proud of you Anya and look forward to seeing more success on your journey!
