I’m so frustrated and I don’t understand why I can’t stay consistent!

About 6 years ago I lost 70lbs in a year. My niece passed away and I ended up gaining it all back plus 20lbs. At my heaviest I was 251lbs. I finally went to therapy and I managed to lose some of it again with little changes here and there. I’m currently 205lbs and I’ve more or less maintained a 45lb loss for about the last 2.5-3 years. Which is great except, I’m still very much obese at 5’3. I hate this and I desperately want to lose weight.

For the last Idk, year probably, I’ve had so many days where I’ve told myself, “This is it, this is the day I get it together and lose the weight!” I do great for a few days, maybe even a week or two and then I just… give up. I know how to lose weight, I’ve done it before and I know I can do it again. I understand tdee, calorie deficit, etc etc. I understand mindsets like, “progress not perfection” and “consistency over motivation.” But I cannot for the life of me get myself to be consistent and it’s driving me absolutely mad.

I sincerely cannot figure out what’s different about when I lost weight before and now. I’ve been through a lot in the last 6 years, I’ll spare you the details but it’s been hard and I know that it’s had an effect on my self image and how I care for myself overall but my god, it still shouldn’t be this damn hard. How do you get yourself to simply be consistent? Or how do I at the very least, discipline myself, so I don’t keep revving up and ultimately going nowhere. I don’t know what the point of this post is otherwise. I made a separate Reddit account for just weight loss and food subs, Reddit was so helpful when I lost weight the first time. I’m hoping that posting in these subs regularly will give me some kind of accountability again and that that will help.
