I have been doing WW for just over a year and have lost 2.5 stone which I am really pleased about. Trouble is, to get to goal I need to lose roughly the same again and I just can't get motivated - all the things that were spurring me on in the first place are more or less sorted. I can now fit into most of the clothes I want and can buy clothes easily from the high street rather than being limited to places that sell size 18s. People comment all the time on how fab I look, I no longer hate photos of myself and I feel better and more confident in general.
But I do know that I need to do this to be healthy and also I want to because I have tried and failed so many times in the past. It's just so hard without a clear goal ahead of me. I am too old now to start wearing miniskirts and croptops and am unlikely to go near a bikini even if I do hit goal so the clothes thing which was a big incentive for me is not really there any more - in fact I am fed up (after the initial thrill) of having to buy new clothes because nothing fits me, not sure if I can afford to buy yet more stuff if I get any thinner.
I am tired of tracking and thinking about every mouthful but I know if I stop I am likely to put it all back on again. At the moment I am maintaining but I need to decide whether I am going to try and go for goal and if so, I need a new incentive to make it all seem worthwhile.
Any ideas or inspiration anyone?
