New here and already thinking about the very long road

Tbh hi all, I’m brand new—only a few days in—and I’m trying not to flood the forum with tiny questions. This one keeps circling: for those who’ve been doing this for a while, did you start out thinking it would be a permanent part of your routine, or more of a temporary reset?

I’m 38 and would like to lose about 40 pounds, but the bigger unknown for me is the after part. I don’t mean to ask for medical advice at all; I’m just curious how people mentally frame the long term without getting overwhelmed.

Did anything help you stop projecting five years out and just handle this week? Thank you for reading—I’m nervous to post.
