In summary, 18F, lost 52 pounds since the age of 15. 5'2, SW: 171 lbs, CW: 122 pounds Lost a good chunk of it during the pandemic. In short, things were going great, until a month or so back. I gained 3-4 pounds due to a binge and restrict cycle and a fuck it mindset, I still worked out 5-6 times a week, but, my diet and mindset and mental peace was horrible. However, since June, I have not binged, (higher calorie days, sure, but not eat till you are sick days) and lost 2 pounds. Before, every cheat meal would turn into a cheat day. My goal is to learn moderation and phase out all-or-none mentality. (I used to have cheat days throughout my weight-loss, not good, which I realize now)
So, today, I had Pasta for dinner, as much as I wished, because, I love it and was craving it for a while. Didn't binge afterwards. I am writing this right now all happy and content and not guilt-ridden. Usually, by night, I would have eaten everything in sight, until I was sick. (I actually cried a couple of times in my mom's lap as well, it was horrible, but, moms are amazing)
Weight-wise, My goal now is to just have a healthy mindset and lose slowly at 2 ish pounds a month, since I am only a couple of pounds away from my goal weight. For the next few months, I am fine with maintaining as well. Since, I did go quite heavy the past couple of months with the weight loss efforts. (90 minutes cardio, 6 times a week, 90 minute weight lifting, 3 times a week, on a calorie deficit)
Anyway, I just wanted to celebrate this victory. Since, I have gone from gaining weight to maintaining it to losing slightly again. And, all of this with cake and pasta! ❤
Well, I guess, I just wanted to remind you guys to be easy with yourselves and you don't have to lose weight year-round, sometimes maintenance is a big victory. Keep chilling guys!
