60lbs lost in 6 months and now I feel like I've hit a wall. I really need some advice.

I've been at the same weight for over two weeks now. Maybe it's a plateau but truthfully my diet has gone off the rails. I'll have a few good days then eat at maintenance for a few and so on. I have trouble with food because I'm such a picky eater and I stress out about having poor nutrition. So I'll buy lots of fruit and vegetables and then I don't eat them because I gag eating them. I know what kinds of healthy foods I do like but it just doesn't seem like enough. I struggle to plan my meals because I'm focused on calories but also try to fit in vegetables that don't appeal to me whatsoever.

I'm visiting family on Wednesday and they're all so excited to see me. My cousin is pregnant, last time she was my grandma made a joke about how my belly was bigger than hers (she was 8 months at the time). It's so much pressure. I don't want the attention.

I still have a long way to go, at least another 35lbs before I even get out of the "obese" BMI category. I was looking great and then almost overnight the skin sagging was super noticable, especially in my thighs and stomach. I'm only 28 but my body doesn't look it anymore. I keep thinking that at least when I was heavier my skin was nicer... I looked younger.

My goal had been to lose 75lbs by my first wedding anniversary on September 22nd so that my husband and I could get a picture taken to show how much of a change we've made. 10 weeks. I know physically it's possible to lose another 15lbs in that time but I feel like my motivation is gone.

How do you guys deal with feeling burnt out and overwhelmed? I know this is going to be a long process and I'm really trying to get myself back into the right headspace but I just don't know how.

Thanks in advance!
