The Struggle is Real or is it?

This morning I stepped on the scale again and was up almost 1lb since the day before. What the heck? My first thought was "I am struggling". It isn't the first time I have used that expression. But then I stopped for a moment and thought about it.  Are you struggling? Really? 

According to Webster's Dictionary here is the definition of struggle/to struggle:

1. to make strenuous or violent efforts in the face of difficulties or opposition

2. to proceed with difficulty or with great effort 

See where I'm going with this? 

I feel like it is a bit unfair to use the word struggle when there are people out there who are genuinely struggling. Am I making great efforts, strenuous efforts to reach my goals? No. I know I'm not. This has been my issue for almost 2 years and although I have done well at maintaining my 50lbs weightloss I am not making any strides towards losing the last 30. 

I know what I need to do. I know I have the tools to be able to reach my goals, I just need to commit to putting in the maximum effort - I actually NEED to struggle.
