The math adds up

I’ve been trying to eat 1200 calories a day and burn 200-300 calories a day exercising for a month. That’s a 300-400 cal deficit a day. It’s been brutal & ive only been able to hit it about half of the time, but I’ve been consistent about logging every day. On the days I accidentally over ate I never went more than 100 calories over maintanence. I was traveling for the first 3 weeks of this month (for work) and didn’t have access to a scale, so I finally weighed myself at home yesterday. I’ve only lost two pounds in this entire month, which was discouraging but...looking at my logs for the past month, the math adds up perfectly.

I’ve got 35-40 lbs left to lose and while it’s kind of a bummer, it just reinforces what reality is for weight loss at 5 feet tall. I’m just going to have to eat like I’m a small child for the rest of my life (sad but ok) or exercise obsessively (not gonna happen). I used to be super anti-logging but now it’s become my best tool for keeping my expectations realistic. I guess that’s the bright side of a sucky rainbow.
