I set a goal to lose about 75lbs but only lost 50. That’s about 15 months ago. I’d say it’s a good try.

Next goal is strength. So I’m starting at the very bottom which feels embarrassing. Have only moved up in reps very slowly.

The one thing I learned about setbacks from dieting is that if you have a very emotional reaction to failure, you will have to train yourself out of self destructive behaviour to get anywhere. It has to be nothing but a speed bump from a mental resilience point of view.
