Also it can really help with the emotional side of food too! Since its less focused on 'am I losing weight,' which often ends up closely tied to self-esteem, depression (which exercise helps with too lmao), and 'emotional eating,' its a lot easier to maintain the habits that actually allow for maintained weight loss. The less pressure and self worth that are involved, the easier it is to be kind to ourselves and keep going regardless of smaller demotivators You make some great points in all of these!
