This group really helped me mentally this week.
Last Friday I had my first proper cheat meal and went over my maintenance. My family usually gets takeout once a week on Fridays but I am always below maintenance anyway.
Last Friday we had KFC and I felt good so I ate what I wanted which ended up being a little over maintenance (my maintenance is 2300cal). I weighed myself Friday morning and clocked in at 96.8kg. The next day I had gained a tonne of water weight as expected from all the sodium.
Over the weekend my boyfriend and I threw a ball in the park because we are in lockdown and can’t do much else. My arms weren’t sore but it was definitely outside my usual exercise.
I weighed myself on Monday again and I was still up from my previous weigh in and weighed 97.8. Lots of water weight still.
I weighed myself everyday and each day I was still up. I started getting discouraged and kept reading your posts and trying to tel myself “it’s just water weight from KFC and exercise” “it’s just water weight trust the process.” “500g is 3500cal, you have been eating 1300cal you are fine” “trust the process drink more water”
And today I was finally down again! 96.4kg and it’s stupid that this made me happy. But I trusted the process. I did not give up as soon as I stopped seeing progress. I kept going and ate healthy and sticking to my limit.
