Hi I'm female, 5'2-5'3, SW: 255 ish CW: 198 lbs.

Losing close to 60 pounds in a year is a huge accomplishment, I feel confident and healthier.

People look at me and they notice the weight loss and it feels good. I am so very proud of my progress.

But getting underneath 200 lbs is a blessing and a curse.

Any big milestones like getting under any of the 100s is massive and you are excited to share it to anyone and everyone but any time of relapse in progress or added water weight for whatever reason is devastating.

Sometimes I avoid the scale entirely just in case I see that dreaded 200. Even if it's just two ounces more than 200 it's devastating.

I don't know if anyone else has struggled with this before but I would love any advice you can give me on the mental block I'm feeling. Does anyone struggle with this? Is this just something normal that happens when you force yourself to take accountability? Please let me know.
