Casey, congratulations on your weight loss! You have done an amazing job. I look forward to the day I can say I've lost 100 lbs, too.
One thing that helps me is that I don't pay any attention to the total weight lost. I focus on the amount I'm losing, you know, that 1 to 2 lb loss per week. I don't add up the total lost anywhere, including the excel spreadsheet I keep for my records. From my perspective, it doesn't really matter how much I've lost, but making sure I lose something each week is what's important.
Also, have you been rewarding yourself? It sounds like losing the weight is not enough of a reward for you anymore. Maybe it's time to focus on something you want, just for you! Like a new hairstyle or a weekend away from the normal routine.
One other thing that I don't have experience with but maybe someone else can comment on. As we approach "normal" weight, we might feel like we are not different anymore. I think for many of us, our size is what makes us unique. Once that excess bulk is gone, then who are we? Are we just going to blend in with the crowd? I don't know if that's the case for you, but it might be worth thinking about.
Good luck in losing your remaining 43 lbs. You can get through this and come out on the other side. We are all rooting for you!
