I was doing so well there guys. Beginning of April I started seeing results, and then April 28th I binged for the first time in a long time... Been sort of slipping since and I've gained some fat back around my stomach and waste line. Makes me feel like crap.
I think it just finally got to me. The constant "you're gettin' a little too lean there mister, you need to gain weight" types of comments from my mom (who had an eating disorder in the past, mind you). It's like none of them cared that I actually felt great and was confident in myself. I was still really strong and healthy, too. Maybe to them I looked skinny, but damn, I was just in really good shape and I had tons of energy/felt great. And then you confront them and they're just like, "what?! I meant it as a compliment!" Like, no you fucking didn't? Lol, like who the fuck just comes out of the blue and feels like they have the right to comment on how someone else's body looks?
Anyways.
Since 4/28 I've sort of been eating like shit and not really working out. I do intermittent fasting, and while I still have been doing IF, I've just been eating junk food. It's like I don't care that I'm tossing out months of hard work that really started to show results throughout April. And then the comments from relatives and everyone just made me feel like I somehow "hit" my goal and I could take it easy for a while. Idk, it's just so frustrating. The past two weeks have caught up to me and I can tell I've gained some fat back in my belly and waistline. I'm still in good shape, just not cut and idk, I notice it in my face and overall just feel "blah."
Any advice for getting back on the horse? I went for a run today and ate pretty well. Just want to keep this momentum going. I keep telling myself it's a lifestyle, and it is, so I guess this is just part of it... I still need to watch the bingeing though, and learn how to deal with people making unnecessary comments on my appearance. Like, thanks? Really just makes me want to say something like, "thanks, well you look fat." Lol (I would never, but hopefully some of you catch my drift and know the feeling...).
Also, if any of you can share some optimistic info around fat being harder to lose once it's put back on (quickly, and post-"diet"), that'd be great. I have this weird feeling that now I've just shot myself in the foot and the fat will be harder to lose, because the body wants to hold onto it from a survival perspective, and especially since I put it on a little too quickly.
