Hi all, so a bit of a preface to explain my question...
My flair has my stats - 30f, 1.73, 73-73.4 kg (that's where I'm stuck this last month or so)
I've always struggled with my weight, hanging usually at the very border of healthy/overweight bmi.
2 years ago I've managed to lose a slightly more meaningful amount of weight (weighed 68), was encouraged, bought new clothes, had fun.
Inevitably, came the fall.
Gained back to 75. That's where I'm hanging for the last 1.5 years or so.
Obviously, one of my main goals is to get back into the clothes I still have from 2 years ago. They're there in my closet, I don't buy new clothes since I have clothes. That goal makes sense.
But.
I just find it so discouraging.
Whenever I think of that, I just think of 2 years in which I haven't been able to wear them, 2 wasted years in which I couldn't lose just 7 kg - thinking of it makes me feel so much like a failure, a waste of time. Makes me disgusted with the body I have, how ugly it is, how it can't fit to clothes it used to looked good in.
Such a goal - wearing again clothes from when I was 7 kg lighter (by now 6..) - is seemingly so close, people here could reach that order of a goal in like 2 months, but it feels so far and unreachable.
I just feel stuck, discouraged and disappointed whenever I think of that goal, and that is obviously detrimental to the process.
I've decided to probably set new goals that would encourage and motivate me, but that's where I'm stuck now. Can't think of any. I mean, I have a goal - it's measurable, it's supposedly reachable, I want it... But it depresses me.
Exercise goals aren't doing it for me - running faster or lifting heavier isn't giving me any feeling of achievement or success.
So I guess my question is - what goals do you set, how did you come up with them and how do they make you feel in day to day life?
Thanks!
