Right now, I’ve consistently hit my goals, and successfully lost 30 pounds in 2 months (I started tracking my weight July 1). I’m phenomenally proud of myself and how far I’ve come fitness-wise and how much healthier I’m eating. I’m now out of the “obese” BMI category for my height and am on track to becoming a normal weight again. But the truth is, I realize I truly do not eat enough or drink enough water for the amount I am exercising, and my body is reflecting this. I’ve had pretty bad stomachaches this week and muscle soreness, which has left me pretty fatigued. I have lost weight very, very quickly, and while I am absolutely not giving up, I think I need a break from the rigorous workout and diet regimen I have adopted over the past two months.
I think I just want to take a week off from tracking my weight and food, and then reassess where I want to go from here. But I’m not entirely sure how to go about it. I want to continue working out this week, and I don’t want to gain any weight back, just maintain where I am. I also don’t know how I will deal with the guilt from this. I’ve become so obsessed with the amount of calories I burn and eat each day and I don’t want to feel like I’ve fallen off the wagon.
I truly know that I need a break for a few days where I don’t track and don’t workout as rigorously, but I’m very scared of gaining weight and losing motivation to keep going due to this.
