Though halfway through this journey, she finds herself struggling with cravings and other obstacles. But like many others on this path, she perseveres using what she has learned along the way.
The Struggle
For okanec, the temptation to indulge in food has been tough to overcome. The munchies at work, coupled with going to baseball games, jeopardized her weight loss progress.

By following a good routine, some of the daily pressure can be relieved, and the user can work towards their weight loss goals with less distraction.
Visualizing Goals
The importance of visualization is highlighted by SleepDepriv_d, who reminds okanec to imagine the day when they've lost those 16 pounds. Picture the satisfaction of success and how it'll all be worth the effort. These visualizations can be powerful motivators, especially for people who have a hard time sticking with their plan.
Celebrating Success
It's important to note that, despite the struggles, okanec has made significant progress. Losing 14 pounds is no easy feat, and she should feel proud of her achievements. Friends from the Reddit community remind her of this, emphasizing that amidst all the challenges, it's essential to celebrate the small victories and how far they've come.
