Sometimes a higher calorie target helps

The month of April was a wash for me. I was having such a hard time sticking to my calorie goal, blowing it and then not logging my evening calories because I knew I’d blown it, and I figured tomorrow was a new day. This week I decided to take a different approach and upped my calories back to 1600 (where they were when I started losing and had no trouble with that goal). I went over almost every day, but with exercise calories I’m still at a deficit. Suddenly, I stopped my evening binges and am back to losing. Yes, it will be slower, but I halted the spiral that would have led to a gain.

I know that for me, the most important thing for weight loss is actually tracking everything. If that means upping my calorie budget and making my deficit smaller, so be it. If you find yourself unable to stick to your goal and do not tracking, try changing your goal.
