So this year I lost 30lbs. I went from 165 to 133 just about. I’m 5’4 and I’m finally at a healthy BMI.
I realize the last few pounds I wanna lose are purely aesthetic, but I still wanna lose them. My goal is very loose but I want to get to 120lbs and see how I feel then.
However, it’s becoming impossible to keep up my deficit. It was so easy to keep my deficit at the start, but now that I’m smaller
A) My TDEE is nothing. So taking 500 away from that is excruciating.
B) If I do a 250 deficit instead, any extras at all will wipe my deficit out. If I have a couple glasses of wine on a date, deficit gone.
C) I’m now painfully aware of food/deficit all the time.
I had an ED 10 years ago and I’m not trying to go back to that, thank you very much. But it’s difficult to balance not becoming obsessed vs keeping this deficit going.
It’s so, so, so easy to just eat at 1800kcal a day. And I need to be at 1400-1500 at most. But god I keep wanting a little sweet or some cashew nuts or some random thing.
For those of you (specially short girls like me) who tried to lose the last 10 pounds, do you have any tips???
