Okay, so the stats: 5"7F, SW 95ish, CW 79.9, GW...not sure!
I have been stuck at 81ish kg for months after losing 14kg. On one hand, this was at least maintenance for me. But I wasn't losing. I got a few compliments on my weight loss, and then somehow lost my momentum. I got complacent, and I have no one to blame but myself. It wasn't really a "plateau" because I wasn't making an effort - and now I know that unless I log my food, I will for sure find a way to justify any indulgence!
I was a bit nervous of getting back into it, but now that I have, I don't know why I even stopped. Maybe I had subconsciously thought that once people noticed, it would be enough.
The truth is, though, that even though I thought I was going into a weight loss "journey" with solely vain reasons (which are pretty accepted on this subject thankfully), I'm going BACK not because I want anyone's validation - I already had that. I'm going back because I kept seeing that 81/80 kg on the scale, and I thought, hey, I can do better. I want get down to a healthy weight for myself, because I know I feel more happy about choices re: food and my own health once I started having actual information about it, when it's a CHOICE, not a default.
The best part is that this week I got down past the dreaded 80's my own way. Nutella for breakfast (on bread! Lovely bread!), jelly beans, cheese... With zero guilt. CICO, man.
The biggest change for me is that now, instead of looking at food with the attitude of "Oh, I would be lucky to eat you!", I think "Hmmm...I have X calories left. Do you deserve to be included?"
So in conclusion, I finally got the rounded 15kg mark, I'm finding my stride, and re-evaluating my motivations.
Big thanks to this sub for being there for me to scroll through - a little reminder here every day definitely pushed me back in the right direction!
