Thank you Ethan - this resonates so strongly with me. One thing I’ve realised recently is that I identify as a yo-yoer. My current weight loss success still feels like part of a bigger inevitable cycle. I’m really working on maintenance at the moment - 2 months in and my weight is pretty stable (up 5lb from my lowest).
Anyway, the yo-yo identity doesn’t serve me. Have you managed to shake it after all this time? And is it just a case of time?
I see myself in this post. Strategizing and getting into the mindset to succeed is so important. Paring it down to specific actions saves on the trial and error.

I’ve definitely shaken the yo-yoer mentality/identity, the cost for me was realizing that maintenance was going to be a lifelong pursuit…
