So I weighed in at 285 May 3rd and I was convinced I just weighed in on a heavy day and they were "fake pounds" so I set my first goal, my oh this is easy and will get there fast and motivate me goal, at 250. Looking back, thinking I would hit this in late May or June, I think I was legit crazy. That's 35 pounds and I shoot to have a modest deficit, around 500-1000 depending on the day, so to lose 35 pounds should take me anywhere between 35 to 17 weeks losing 1-2 pounds a week!!
I was seriously in major denial thinking oh I'm not that heavy I'm sure most of it was water weight and I'm actually what 15 pounds lighter?? I'm doing this right and sustainably, and I am shocked at how in denial I was. 17 weeks is like...4 months at least! That puts me from May to August IF I solidly stuck to a 1000 cal deficit. 35 weeks is...more than half a year?? A solid 8 months??? To get to my "easy peasy goal"??
Wow. Just wow. You think you are on top of things and then you realize the absolute craziness of brain tricks that you can play on yourself.
Am I the only one who is just nuts sometimes?
