Hi all. This is my first time posting ever, so please bear with me.
I started my (25F) weight loss journey at the end of September. I’ve been following CICO by tracking my calories and eating around 1600 calories a day. I like to add in walking sporadically when the weather is nice. I’ve lost a total of 20 pounds.
At the beginning of this journey I was extremely determined. My mind was made up - I was adamant in my goals. I was able to quit smoking cigarettes last year and felt that if I could do that then I could lose some weight. I tended to stick closely with my 1600 calorie goal, and walked quite a bit. Then the holidays hit. I found myself getting more and more lenient with calories. Instead of one day eating around 1800 calories, I found myself averaging 1900 calories within a week. This eventually turned into a month.
I just feel significantly less passionate about the whole weight loss journey. I did catch covid right before Christmas and quit counting calories during that time. I’ve been “recovered” for a week now but I can’t seem to muster the determination to get back on the horse. Almost as if I’ve lost my will to continue moving forward.
I guess what I’m really looking for is some advice, help, motivation, or maybe just some perspective from people who have experienced this and powered through? How do you keep weight loss at the forefront and not let it go to the back burner?
TLDR: lost some weight, holidays/covid hit, now I can’t muster up the will to keep trying.
Thanks for reading my ramble.
