Hi everyone,
This is my first post on r/loseit but I have been a lurker for a some time now.
Some information about me, I am a male, 24 yrs, 180 CM (5'9) and currently have been consistent cardio and bodyweight training.
In July 2020 I started to commit to losing weight, I was 97 KGs (213 Lbs) and reached a maximum of a 102 KGs (224 Lbs) and I reached my goal of 70 KGs (154 Lbs) during this month.
The way I achieved this is by majorly dropping calories to about 900-1200 calories daily and try not to exceed 33 grams of sugar and 33 grams of fats and trying to minimize carbs as much as I could.
I am currently been struggling with the past 2 months with some issues mainly the fear of re-gaining my weight back and I get days where I am overly hungry and I fall off my routine and over eat that day.
In addition to that I am also having trouble to maintain my weight (finding maintenance calories and how to add up gradually from my deficit to the maintenance).
I hate how the fear of gaining weight is now incorporated in my everyday life, where I starve myself for days when I feel I over indulged or when I have taken a cheat day (which are not very common) .
I also know that our body fluctuates daily and we don't weight the same everyday, but when I find that I am not the lowest weight in that I reached when I wake up I starve myself that day in fear that I gained weight from eating.
I have been suffering mentally from this toll to the extent that I feel that the choice for losing weight was actually a mistake.
For now, what I need is some guidance on how to concur this fear and how to effectively find my maintenance calories and implement it.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that this fear ties in with body in-security, I have been always criticized specially by my family that I should lose weight constantly and this caused my to have this unhealthy way of dieting and hate relationship with food.
