You're definitely making some kind of progress!

I've been trying to lose weight for the longest time but for the first time last year some weight started shedding off but that was purely because i actually put my back into it. Started exercising regularly, eating as clean as I could, in winter i even started running (as in road running and doing some road running races). It was really cool. I was getting so excited, by october I had lost an incredible 16 Kg's.

I believe I started getting somewhat big headed or something but I gained 3 kg's by December and I've been on this same weight since. My goal is to shed 25Kg's this year. I need to finally reach my GOAL weight. I've been seeing so many people I know or people I knew looking great in their "new bodies" and I'm not jealous but i can't help looking at my own body and thinking WHY ME!?!?! I know I have to work a bit harder especially where food is concerned because apparently weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise so i can't slack not even one bit in that regard!

Just when I was starting to think I'm not getting anywhere with this weight loss thing someone I met in November, at the time of my supposed weight gain told me that she's noticing that I've lost quite a lot of weight since she first met me which was late last year.

This made me think of a very crucial life lesson, and that is: if you're putting in the time and effort, you're definitely making some kind of progress, no matter how small. I remember blogging about the fact that it is all the small victories that make up the big victory, and this theory is so important and true especially if you're as hard on yourself as I tend to be and I just keep having to remind myself that no matter how small the progress is, it still counts as progress!

Here's to making progress!!

getting really close to the mark!
