This post is for me to work out some thoughts and get some other people's point of view.
I'm starting to take my health seriously this year. My starting weight is 202 lbs. The plan for now is for eight weeks eat at a calorie deficit, eat high protein, and walk 8000 steps a day. Then a month at maintenance calories and re-evalute for the next eight weeks.
I've been consistent for a week and a half. This is the longest I've really done for a health change. So far I have technically lost two pounds. But that is the two pounds that I alway fluctuate with. The scale is moving in the right direction. I feel confident that I will do this for the eight weeks.
But I feel so discouraged. I know progress is slow day to day. I have barely started. The two pounds I lost don't feel like a win because I'm still in my normal weight range. I know change will come with consistency. I wish I was further along to see my weight outside my normal range so I could know that it's going ok. I just feel sad about losing weight. Maybe the sadness is from being in this position to begin with. I feel like I'm grieving.
I'm proud of myself for being consistent and making a change. It's hard to change your habits. But that feeling is over shadowed by some cloud of sadness.
Has anyone else felt this way when starting weight loss or during the process? I don't really have the words for how I'm feeling so I can't really talk about it with the people who support me.
