Last lockdown I really got onto my weight loss journey and was so excited. I have tried to lose weight many times (like so many of us!) and usually manage to lose around 1.5 stone (around 20lbs) before I relapse and binge and just slip back into old habits, usually ending up with a heavier starting weight than the last time each time I started again
I did so well from March - July 2020 and lost around 35lbs with no end in sight as far as I was concerned; I had discovered IF and said to my partner that I could eat this way forever and was so happy! But then I did gradually slip into old habits; I lost my dad shortly before Christmas and over Christmas and January returned to comfort eating in a pretty major way.
But, for the first time in my life, I have managed to get back on the wagon before regaining all the weight I had lost! It wasn't a lost cause or wasted effort; I am starting a good stone lighter than my last day 1. Each time I try, I gain new positive habits, and each time I relapse, I feel more and more like I don't want to give up!
It's really hard getting over comfort eating, binge eating and sugar/carb/fat/salt addiction. Even though I felt soo much better dieting and had a million reasons to keep going, I couldn't avoid the trap of that comfort food. But I've finally learned that a relapse, even a long one, is just a relapse. It's not a failure and it's not the end of the journey!
