Hi there,
Wow. My story is not too different from your own. In the past 6 months, I have gone from about 270, down to 215, and now up to around 225. I am struggling with getting back into my workouts and eating properly, but when you said “I started focusing less on the journey and more on the progress”, that hit me like a ton of bricks.
Thanks so much for this site. I’ll be checking back often to see how you’re doing!
Take care.
