I have done two (2) days on my diet (under 1600 calories per day and at least 12,000 steps). I am really proud of myself for getting started because I have been putting off doing anything about my weight for a long time. But I am also feeling kind of anxious, like 'what if I blow it?' 'What if I can't control myself on the weekend and I eat 4000 calories like I usually do?' I am mainly worried that I'll self-sabotage and that I won't be able to keep it up. Is this something that any of you guys have struggled with? And does anyone have any tips for how to move past this?
My stats are 27F, 180 lbs, 5'5. I have given myself a little bit of room at the weekends (Friday and Saturday) to have a few more calories as I've got a couple of social events lined up and I like to have a beer. But I'm worried that this is not a good plan as it'll encourage binge eating and going off track? I am thinking 1600 calories during the week and 1900 at weekends, and I'll try to be consistent with my steps and workouts at the gym.
I really want this to work. I am going travelling in 5 months time and I want to look good and feel proud of myself. Currently feeling like I'm standing at the bottom of an impossible mountain as I've never managed to successfully lose any weight before.
Thanks for any advice!
