I’m sure people have felt this before but I was on a roll with my weight loss and then I had like three “normal” meals and gained everything back. It’s got me feeling like the only way to lose weight is to never eat out and be on a deficit every freaking day which feels really really depressing. I know we’re allowed “cheat meals” but sometimes I have one cheat meal which is really just one of the regular meals I used to eat pre-weight loss and it’s like BAM three pounds came back.
I’m 5’2” and started at 142. I went down to 137.5 in about three weeks, started moderate exercises, gave up alcohol and eat at 1200-1500 calories a day. Five pounds lost is a huge ordeal for me since I’ve been on this journey before and I would work really hard and never get past 137 and this time it only took me three weeks! I allowed myself three cheat meals last week and gained three pounds back. I tracked those meals in my calorie counter and they weren’t even that bad, just went over by maybe 300-500 calories for that day. Somehow it brought back three pounds, and they’ve stayed with me the last couple of days. I know people say it fluctuates blah blah blah but I just have to get this frustration out. It’s so disappointing and discouraging.
Now I’m feeling super defeated because it feels like my efforts weren’t good enough and I am depressed by the thought of having to eat at a constant deficit forever and feeling super guilty and stupid for having a “cheat meal”.
Guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
