I’ve been battling weight loss for the past few years now. Went for 270 to 170 in less than a year, then felt like my work was done and fell back into my bad habits. Got up to 220, but lost 30 lbs by intermittent fasting (and CICO, of course). Then got frustrated by a plateau and have slowly gained all the way back to 220, at which point I stopped weighing and my last logged weight is 220.2 as of 2 months ago. As my title says, for the past 3 weeks I’ve been going hardcore and feel great. I know how to lose weight and I know what I’m doing is working, but I’m terrified of checking on my progress. I have no idea how much I gained in the time between my past weigh-in and when I started up again. I could be over 220 if I gained a lot during that grey period, or I might have maintained during that time somehow and I could be doing fantastic, either way it might motivate me or demotivate me. I remember one time when I started IF and didn’t weigh for months and checked the scale and I lost so much weight and was psyched, but it led to me feeling like I deserved a break... which led to gaining it all back. On the other hand, hitting a plateau can seriously demotivate me, as I imaging seeing all my hard work not actually pay off numbers-wise could do the same.
I know this needs to be a lifestyle change, which has obviously been my failure in the past, so no matter what, I need to keep at it, but I’m just scared of how I might react to actually seeing it.
As I am right now I can live without seeing it, and I can continue going as I feel great and not burning out in the slightest. I’m eating high volume recipes and am not going hungry ever. Do you think it’s important enough to risk checking even though I’m doing well without it?
