your problem areas won’t be the first to shed that weight, it will be either your face, your hands, your ankles etc
when you lose weight, you realize that you and shrek are very much alike, we have layers (of fat). you will not instantly lose weight on your belly, hips, thighs, arms, where ever it is that you’re trying to specifically lose weight from, you will lose weight all over, this is why it’s hard for us to notice weight loss
the last place you gained fat on is the first to lose that fat off, the first place you gained fat on will be the hardest to lose that fat off
don’t listen to the scale, those few pounds that never seem to leave or you have gained are probably muscle growth, get yourself measuring tape to calculate your weight loss
you see yourself every day, be aware that it’ll be hard for you to notice any difference, but trust me, everyone around you is seeing it happen
weight loss takes time, don’t give up so quick
