I’m trying to lose at least one pound per week so I don’t have to maintain such a big calorie deficit. I would love to lose more but, since one pound equates to 3500 calories, I still need to have a deficit of 500 calories/day just to lose one pound.
I’m trying to only consume 1000-1200 calories where I used to consume probably 1800-2000 calories before. But my basal metabolic rate is only 1350 calories. So I’m sort of just maintaining my current weight now with no change.
I used to eat all the time. I love rice and it’s the only thing that can keep me full. I loved snacking on cookies and other sweets. I can’t seem to find a healthy low calorie equivalent to sweets as I can with other savory foods.
I have currently cut out junk and have been trying to eat healthy. But vegetables and fruits can’t satiate me for long and it doesn’t bring the some satisfaction as junk food. I’m tying to drink water more to curb my appetite but it doesn’t really help.
I feel unmotivated, unhappy and lazy. I would be able to feel better if I actually saw results but I’m not. I’m starting to hit a dark path where I end up binging after seeing my unsuccessful results on the scale, preventing my weight loss even further. I can’t help but compare my weight to my peers and realizing I’ll never be as good as them.
I know people say weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise, but I’m managing my diet so poorly.
I tried IF before but I just end up binging for the time slot where I’m able to eat food. I feel incapable of keto as I’m obsessed with rice and can’t do cauliflower.
I understand it’s a marathon not a race but school ends pretty soon and I don’t want to be remembered as the chubby kid ppl joke about.
Am I just physically incapable of weight loss? How is everyone else able to maintain such drastic calorie deficits?
