Mentality…
Sometimes I think.. why can’t I just be happy with myself the way I am? Why do I have to feel like I’m not good enough or need to try harder because I’m just not where I want to be yet??
That is so ridiculous though. I need to change my mentality, but it’s hard to do. I need to focus on being proud of the process and the little accomplishments every day.. not scold myself because I’m not where I want to be. Where I want to be takes time and motivation, and I have come really far. I think I would be having more fun, be a lot happier, and probably seeing better results, if I changed my mentality. Its easier said than done though, but I can do it.

Always be content with where you are currently and keep working hard so you can continue to get better. Always remember it is a marathon with fitness, a lifestyle, and not just some hobby.

I often think this exact thing. I remember a quote that says, "life is what happens while your busy making plans". I do not think people in this lifestyle are ever completely happy where they are. There is always another mountain top in the distance that comes info view once you have reached the peak you are working for now. I am trying to teach myself to enjoy the journey and to take joy and satisfaction from compliments.
You already look amazing.

Having goals is great! Being motivated to push towards can be a challenge. It sound’s like you’re managing that part! When the finish line get’s moved the trick is to see how you adjust and move on. Learning to be flexible and enjoy all the things happening while you are going for that goal is what matters. Live life, learn to enjoy maintenance mode!
