I started this thing in March, when the COVID shutdowns hit my area hard. I (F, 26, 5’9”) was my largest ever, weighing in at 235 lbs. When I saw the scale that day, something clicked in my brain and I made the decision to eat better. For the first time in my life, I actually wanted to do it. Eating right felt good! Exercise felt good!
About 2 weeks ago, I hit 199. I haven’t been under 200 pounds since my sophomore year of high school, so this was a very proud moment for me! I thought this new achievement would make me want to work even harder, but it’s had the complete opposite affect on me.
I just don’t want to do it anymore. I mean, of course I want to keep seeing results and obviously I don’t want to gain it back, but I’m tired of all the work. I tried to give myself a few maintenance days, thinking maybe I just needed a break, but “a couple days” turned into 2 weeks and I’ve gained 5 pounds back.
I guess I’m just feeling very discouraged, and I’m not sure where to go next.
That’s all. Thanks for letting me vent.
