I’ve been on my health journey since April of 2020. In that time I’ve (5’7” female) went from almost 300 pounds to my current weight of 178. For the first 2 years, I was making a ton of progress - consistently hitting my weight loss goals and my calorie deficits. For the past 6 months, however, I’ve been maintaining my current weight.
I’ve been doing CICO on this journey and so I understand that, to continue seeing a loss on the scale, I need to decrease my calories and/or increase my physical activity. The problem I am having is that…well, I’m tired. The desire to keep pushing myself harder is gone. I’ve stopped logging my calories for the past 3 months or so to 1) give myself a break and; 2) to ensure that the lessons I’ve learned will stick. I’ve continued my current exercise regimen. I’ve been maintaining no problem, which I realize is an awesome accomplishment itself.
I guess I’m at a loss as to why I’m “over it” when I’m so close to my goal. And honestly, I guess I also just want to know if this is unusual or if this is something a lot of people deal with on their journeys. If you’ve been here, how did you get past it? How long did it take? What’s your story?
