Lou, c'mon! Just you wait until Rod gets back!
I understand how the health issues have given you a new perspective - we are all a bit guilty of getting a little bit obsessed with losing weight and it doesn't have to be on your mind 24/7 to keep losing in the background. You have come so far, I get that you probably feel so much better about yourself than you did when you started losing, but don't you think you deserve to get to your goal? If you are anything like me, you aren't massive, in that people don't look at you in the street and think how fat you are, but you aren't 'thin' either. A little push now for these last couple of months will get you there - where instead of having an 'alright' figure, you have a 'gorgeous' figure. Maybe one day I will be satisfied to just be healthy and be able to do the active things I want to do (and I am sure neither of us take this for granted) but FFS I am 30 years old and for once, just once, in my life I WANT TO BE FECKING THIN!! And look good in a bikini, and buy the smaller sizes in the shops which are the only things left in the sales, etc etc. Perhaps I am making assumptions here but isn;t that why you started dieting in the first place?
I recon you need to change things up a bit - can't you switch to another plan for a while, just for a change? Do a different type of exercise? Buy a nice dress in a size below what you are now?
You are so close Lou - it is these last few pounds which make all the difference. Losing five pounds now, when you are in the 10's is like losing a stone earlier on, as you start to go from reasonable to thin. Take stock, man up and prepare yourself for the final leg of your journey! And please don;'t give up at this final hurlde - you are a massive inspiration for the majority of us on here and I wanna see your ticker land at that 133lb target!
