F29, 5'5", SW 230lbs, CW 170lbs
It took a year of trying different things and eventually settling in OMAD to lose the first 55 lbs. I decided to take it slow and make some genuine lifestyle changes instead of diving head first into weight loss. I eat so many more vegetables now, it's crazy.
About 2 months ago, after plateauing for 3 weeks, I had a serious mental health incident. Afterwards I decided that I needed a break from thinking about my weight loss. I wasn't going to go crazy with it, but if I wanted to eat some pasta or a burger I wasn't going to stop myself. I also took off my step tracker and focused on just getting my mental health back in order.
I continued to weigh myself weekly, and typically my weight would fluctuate up and down but with an average of 175 lbs. In the last month though, I've noticed that average very slowly creeping downward. And for the past 2 weeks, the average has been 170!
Don't be afraid to take a break sometimes. I'm not quite ready to start focusing on loss again but I'm getting there, and this break has been exactly what I needed to get my priorities straight. Weight loss isn't everything. Health needs to be what you focus on, and mental health is a huge part of that. Take care of yourself, all of yourself, and the weight loss will just be a fun side effect.
