A few years ago I lost 45 pounds and maintained that for 3 years. I felt great but at times felt like it became obsessive. Unfortunately, over the past 4 years I have gained all of it back. Between multiple moves, the pandemic, losing my job then getting a new one that pays much less, working overnights and working a lot of overtime that has made it difficult to get enough sleep and properly meal prep and workout consistently. I know these are all excuses but these circumstances made it very difficult for me. I knew I gained but I wasn't aware of how much until recently when I took pictures. It's weird how you can go on day by day without realizing and just notice all of a sudden how much weight you've gained. I was in shock. Part of me still sees myself as the smaller version I used to be of course my clothes size and weight says otherwise. It's amazing how many times I took pictures and didn't notice this up until now.
Regardless of feeling bad and difficult circumstances I decided today that enough is enough and I am going to lose these 45 pounds for good. I weighed myself, took measurements and started doing CICO. I'm going to try my best to be positive moving forward because I want to do this for myself. Not only to feel better about myself but to feel more confident and healthier.
With all that said does anyone have any tips for staying consistent and motivated? Any tips on how to avoid becoming obsessed with the process? General words of wisdom for those who have lost this much weight before?
