I can either diet or exercise — not both at the same time. Does anyone else feel the same way? How do you get over this?

I can do one or the other, but for some reason when I try to combine the two everything goes to shit and I end up doing neither. I lost my weight so far mostly by doing IF/CICO (I still ate everything, but in smaller amounts), but once I tried adding exercise to the equation I hit a plateau. So I thought maybe if I just did CICO and exercising It'd be easier—wrong! I still can't manage to make the two work together. I really like exercising because it makes me feel energized and helps me sleep better at night, but it's really getting in the way of my weight loss goals because it causes me to lose focus on what I eat, which I think is more of a contributing factor to my weight loss.

​

I totally understand the "muscle weighs more than fat" thing—and I've definitely toned up—but I know that if I can both watch my diet and exercise regularly I can get to my goal. I just can't figure out how to do it. I'm super frustrated.

​

Anyone else find themselves with the same problem? Any tips and tricks that helped you make it work?
