I'm a 28 year old male, and I've struggled with bodyweight and bodyimage issues for over a decade now. For the first time in my life, rather than crash dieting with appetite suppressants (caffeine, nicotine) and serious unhealthy intake (days of fasting and binge eating etc.), I'm finally using a reasonable deficit (400 calories below my estimated TDEE) and I'm weighing my food for accurate caloric intake estimations.
The problem is that I'd gotten used to losing like 15 pounds in a few weeks via starvation and crash dieting, and now my weight loss is much more slow but very consistent. My crazy weight loss used to happen quickly and also come back quickly.
How do you maintain discipline and patience with weightloss? I find myself every day either wanting to starve myself more to see more results, or overeat because it's taking too long to see the results I want and I'm frustrated. How have you managed to change your mindsets? Any books/podcasts/methods (meditation or something) that you can recommend to help me with remaining consistent and patient would be fantastic. I find that my mindset often leads to moments of return to my unhealthy habits, whether they be starving myself or binge eating.
Good luck to everyone on this journey--it's difficult and challenging and I respect anyone that does difficult things in order to better their health.
