JUST. DON'T. GIVE. UP.
I'm writing this so that I can read it when I'm down and about to give up losing weight.
If today you overindulge, just log your food, and stick to your calorie goal tomorrow. One day doesn't make you fat, but you will be fat if you give up. So don't give up.
If today you feel down and don't get any walk/exercise in, it is okay. Enjoy your evening, and see how you feel tomorrow. Even 200 more steps each day is good. Just don't give up.
When you see people talk about how they stay fit by walking 10,000+ steps/day, exercise/walk for hours, or run for miles, don't stress out. They do what they do, and you do what you are comfortable with. You are not them. This is your personal journey. Most of us don't have time for that. We still lose weight.
When you hear people talk about keto and feel bad about eating carbs, just remind yourself that carbs can be good. Choose good carbs. Choose food you love that is fulfilling. Eat soup. Clear-broth soups save your calorie budget and save your dieting soul. If you want an ice cream, go for it. If you want a piece of cake, eat cake. Eat everything in small portions (unless... soups). Be creative and play with ingredients to make your beloved dishes lower in carbs/calories. Feed your body so that you won't give up.
When the scale doesn't want to move even though you have been sticking to your calorie goals most of them time, remember that it is completely normal. Almost everyone has experienced it. You don't suck. Just keep going.
When you get your goal weight and feel you are about to slip into the old habits, just remember how challenging it has been to get here. Ain't nobody want to repeat that again. Being healthy and fit is a life-long journey. Don't stop tracking your calories. Eat at maintenance, or let loose once in a while. Just don't give up.
Last but not least, get rid of toxic people in your life who stress you out (into hating your body and/or binge-eating). Take care of your mental and physical health. Remember how far you have come. Love yourself FIRST.
(I'm 30F. I gained 28lbs in a few short months. Lost 8lbs since last month. 29.5lbs more to go. I won't give up.)
