The Slow Journey to Weight Loss

The path to weight loss is rarely an easy one. It's not uncommon to feel disheartened despite significant effort. For reddit user Luluchaos, who has been feeling down about her progress despite losing 46 pounds, the trick to staying motivated was trying on old clothes.

Finding the Motivation to Keep Going

Luluchaos was feeling discouraged after slow losses and seeing little progress. However, after trying on some old clothes, she suddenly felt proud of her accomplishments. She realized that even though the number on the scale may not have changed much, her body had undergone a significant transformation.

A Boost of Confidence

The support from fellow reddit users was also a source of motivation. Many praised her progress and encouraged her to keep going. Luluchaos talked about the freedom she feels now that she can wear clothing that she hasn't fit into for years, and the confidence it has brought her.

The Importance of Small Progress

Luluchaos' story is a reminder that small progress is still progress, and that it's important to celebrate every achievement, no matter how small. Trying on old clothes can be an excellent way to see progress and stay motivated, especially when the scale isn't budging. It also highlights the importance of finding a support system, like reddit's loseit community, to help push you forward when you're feeling discouraged.

Stay the Course

Weight loss is a difficult journey and setbacks are inevitable. But with the right mindset, tools and support system, anyone can achieve success. While trying on old clothes may not work for everyone, it's important to find what works for you and stick with it. Small achievements can still bring a boost of motivation, and help build a foundation of confidence that will ultimately lead to success.
