I made a post about how hopeless I felt about losing weight. And when I “attempted” last year, I actually gained 30+lbs.
Well since the 14th Jan after crying in my room and felt so low that I wanted to mutilate myself, I decided to start again. There is NO way I’m going train more.
At the bare minimum I just want to track my calories and stay in its limit.
Mentally the gym seems a bit much for me, so I started off eating 1600 calories a day. But I will conquer that at some point, one step at a time.
One or two days of the week I go over by 200-700 calories but I’ve never felt so in control. It’s never thrown me off, made me feel bad, etc. I just get back to tracking and it’s all ok.
I don’t eat hyper healthily but tracking forces me to, because I’m not wasting 900 calories on one burger anymore. Fuck that. Im mixing up my diet, making better choices, and limiting my beverages. I’m ok with feeling hungry, I haven’t craved fast food in a while and I physically cannot hold down as much food as I could before—I feel fuller faster now.
I’ve never felt so “OK” with intentionally making better choices.
The 5th of Jan I was 236lbs. I today (30th Jan) I weigh 226lbs. I’ve lost my first 10lbs at a reasonable pace, CICO works, and I’m still able to make time for pizza! I’ve never lost this much without feeling like I’m starving.
(Also the “Lose It!” App is amazing. It gives me comfort. I’m never ever going back to MFP.)
I’m feeling hopeful now that I’m seeing the scale go down—here’s to 2023!
