I’ve been on my weight loss journey for close to a year now and have lost 30kg so far. It was fairly easy for me in the beginning, probably because I was really motivated. I got into the groove of it within a couple months and it just felt like this was my life now. I am very strict with my deficit but I will have a day or a few days without calorie counting every now and again on birthdays, holidays etc.
But the food noise is always there. I’m always thinking about food and how I can fit certain things into my deficit. And so on days where I’m not counting, I feel like I have to make up for everything I’ve lost. Even though I still eat most of the foods I like in a deficit, it’s not satisfying enough for me if I don’t get it in the quantity I want. Like it’s very easy to fit one cookie into my deficit, but I could eat the entire bag so it doesn’t feel satisfying? I feel like I need to have these almost binges to feel satisfied.
And then the issue is, it takes so much for me to get back on track. It feels like I’m starting all over again every time. How do people not overeat when they’re not counting calories? It seems like I’m going to have to count calories forever because I have no self control if I’m not counting calories. My appetite is no smaller, the amount of food I can/want to eat is no less than before. I just don’t get how this is sustainable and how people keep the weight off. It bums me out to think I’m always going to have to control what I eat and how much I eat.
I guess it just feels like no amount of discipline is going to re-wire my brain, I got to my highest weight because I couldn’t control myself when it comes to food and deep down I’m still that person. Without counting every calorie I consume there’s no way I could maintain let alone lose weight. Does this ever change?
