F33 5’6” SW: 158 CW: 135 GW: 130
This morning I stepped on the scale and I experienced a truly shocking moment - I hit the goal weight that I originally set as my ideal weight.
I was in such shock that I was able to get here honestly. I’ve spent years and years running through crash diets, whatever crazy fad (hello lemon water cleanse, HCG, and literally even considered the potato diet for a moment) without ever really changing my perspective on my relationship with food. My journey with CICO has brought me a totally new awareness of my body’s needs, how food and exercise impacts my energy and confidence and I couldn’t be more grateful.
I was so happy that I shared my victory with a friend and let her know that I was going to be moving from a calorie deficit to maintenance. The first thing she said was “Wow, that is so exciting. What is going to be your first cheat meal?”
And I really was taken aback by that question. Was there something I’ve been wanting? Craving? Not indulging in? When I was on my other diets I would fantasize about cheese and pizza and pasta you name it. I’d scroll through Instagram to find the most ridiculous high calorie food videos and even watched ASMR to try to satisfy my cravings. But this time around, I’ve made room for what I want. I want pasta, I eat pasta. I craved Taco Bell the other day and I made that work too. I eat chocolate almost every day. Granted these are in small portion but still, I feed my cravings.
And so today as I switch to maintenance for a few weeks, I don’t want a “cheat” meal. I just want to keep going, and that’s a place I didn’t think I’d ever see.
