I have a magic number as well, I have gone off plan for months on end, binge eating carbs, 4 times now at this number.
I know its emotional, I feel invisible at a bigger weight, and this number is one where I start to feel less invisible, and I don't like it. As soon as I start approaching the weight I was pre-children, and the mirror starts to look more like my internal picture of myself, I don't feel like I deserve it somehow.
But I do deserve to be healthy and full of energy and like what I see in the mirror, so I want to get through it.
I'm trying to think of strategies to get through it this time, I'm thinking that when I get near this goal maybe I'll stop weighing for a month or so and give myself mini-goals of staying on plan for 1, 2, 3, 4 maybe more weeks, and reward myself with something nice (an activity not food!) for doing that rather than concentrate on the scale? I've already switched to weighing myself in kilograms, so I don't recognise the number so readily. IDK
