How much is enough?
Since the moment I hit 20 pounds lost, I've wondered exactly what my goal weight should be. I'm now down nearly 50 pounds, and I struggle with the same issue still. At this point, I know that I have done well. I have saved my joints from excessive wear and tear. I have lowered the risks of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer because of my weight.
But when I look in the mirror, I see two different things. I see someone who has come a very long way. But I also see someone that I fear may never truly be happy with what she sees. And alot of that has to do with damage done from pregnancy and being overweight for too long. So how do I know when it's enough?
I am still 15 pounds away from my goal weight. And I am admittedly frustrated. I have not budged weight for over two weeks. I'm not gaining, I'm just not losing either. Part of me says that should be a sign. I have eaten the right foods and been active. Is this my body telling me that I am at the right place? I don't know.
So, how much is enough?
