SparkPeople's Comments

Just like gaining weight took time, losing weight will also take time. Set realistic weight-loss goals, be patient with yourself and celebrate every small victory you have along the way.

Gosh, it is so true, but so hard to remember. When I was gaining weight, I never got on the scale so I didn't "see" it (never mind the mirror), but now that I am working on losing it, I use the scale as a constant measuring stick. Have got to keep this in mind.

I say this to myself all the time. I didn't go to sleep skinny and wake up fat. I slowly put on weight and I will slowly lose it.

I love this. It's really that the process is already getting there because once you start taking care of yourself, you are already on your way! The trick is to notice how great that feels.
