I am 20f, started at 151lbs at 5’7” and am now 133lbs. I feel so much better physically and mentally. Some of my health problems (migraines, insomnia) got insanely better once I started eating healthy and whole foods, and for that reason and many others, I will never go back to eating the way I was before counting calories.
However, I’ve been in restriction mode since September 2019 (slow progress I know), and I’m losing motivation. My main reasons for starting were to feel better about my appearance and gain confidence, and I feel like I have mostly accomplished that. Ideally, I would like to go down to 125lbs.
But I find myself to be so hungry lately, or I guess hungry for the taste of food. I still eat healthy and mostly whole foods, with an occasional treat thrown in, but I find myself still overeating to the point of maintenance. I’m not gaining any weight but definitely not losing any.
Every week I tell myself that this is the week I’m going to start restricting again and then I just don’t. I get hungry or bored or stressed and I eat myself to my maintenance limit.
I just don’t know what to tell myself to renew my motivation. Worse, I try to justify this to myself by saying that the weight I’m at now is good enough and I should keep maintaining. Any tips or advice appreciated.
