Losing weight and counting calories is nothing new to me. I'm on my second round of weight loss, having started at 77kg November last year and should now have been almost at my goal weight of 65kg in time for summer. I track everything meticulously.
About a month ago, I recently discovered Asda's low cal cookie dough ice cream, only 327 calories per tub! Hallelujah - a treat I can fit into my calorie budget easily! I've had this daily for the past month or so.
Since then, I noticed my scheduled weigh-ins were steadily getting higher and higher than my projected weight. I calculate my daily deficit and so have a rough idea of how much I weigh each day (this helps to take the emotion out of seeing a higher weight due to normal fluctuations like being on my period).
I thought my body was excessively holding onto water, was inflamed etc. My body dysmorphia got worse but I thought let me continue as is, surely I’ll experience the whoosh effect at some point or the other?!
Yesterday I weighed in at 68.5kg. I have compared recent photos to photos I took in February and I definitely look bigger. I look/feel bigger when I see myself in the mirror. Unfortunately it triggered a binge yesterday (6k cal) which I haven’t had in a while because I was so upset and frustrated.
No other factors have changed with regards to my approach to weight loss, and I can’t think of any other reason why. I strongly suspect it’s the ice cream. What hurts even more is that as I was approaching the last few pounds, I was taking it slow and only having a very small daily deficit 150-300cal, and sometimes eating at maintenance, and so this would easily have taken me into a surplus every day for the last few weeks.
I just wanted to vent because I’ve struggled with binging in the past, and was getting it under control / doing so well, only for me to put on the weight unintentionally due to the nutritional information potentially being incorrect. I wanted to binge today but it’s just not worth it.
