Really struggling right now. Taking a much needed break.

I lost 30 pounds. Gained 3 back (according to the scale.)

I was getting really tired of calorie counting. It was becoming stressful and really felt like my fitness pal was a prison cell. I wasn’t enjoying food or life so much counting everything like I have been doing for the last 3 months. My confidence was doing horrible too, despite the weight loss. I noticed calorie counting wasn’t helping that entire week so 4 days ago I stopped using the app.

I need a break from it.

I’m going to use mfp again in about a week but I’m really tired and I’m scared of gaining my weight back. I haven’t overeaten(I don’t think lol) but I still don’t know how much I’ve eaten.

I felt like I need a break because of how tiring numbers can be. I just want to be able to eat my food sometimes without it being a number. I feel like I’m struggling to stay on track right now. Maybe this break will help. I lost weight after taking breaks before so I’m probably gonna so it again. I’m 30 pounds away from my goal weight. I do admit, I already feel a bit better and yesterday I got a killer workout in. Today for the first time in weeks I’ve felt more confident with my body and I was happy.

I think I’m going to need to take breaks more often from counting because as much as it’s helped me lose weight, it’s really wrecked havoc in my life too.
