I've been trying to lose 15kg since September and I've been failing MISERABLY, having lost only 2kg (from September to January). It all went downhill on late January when uni and work stress got on me and I fell into a month long continuous binge that felt uncontrollable. Luckily I didn't gain any significant amount of weight.
I hope it's not too early to be posting this, but It's been less than a week since I got back on track with my weight loss and I'm already 1kg down (in like 4 days). I know it's mostly water weight but it is what I needed. It gave me so much motivation.
Losing the 15kg suddenly doesn't seem that impossible at all. How did I get back on track?
- I set a goal only for one day. I said to myself that I'll eat 1500 calories only for Monday. Not having a long term plan, helped me manage stress and the urge to binge. As weird as this sounds, I told myself that I can go back to binging on Tuesday. But on Monday I set the same goal for Tuesday, and so on. Long story short I haven't binged in 6 days which is a HUGE win for me.
2. I utilized AI to help me. I asked it to become my "weight loss coach". I send it pictures of what I eat and a screenshot from my logs on MyFitnessPal and it assesses the food. It tells me weather I should eat less or more of something or replace something with something else. A thing that helped me tremendously is asking it before eating something that I usually binge on. Then I tell it to convince me to not binge and it works like a charm.
3. I broke my weight loss down into 3 sections. I want to lose 15kg (started on 78kg/ 170cm/ 22F). My first goal/ milestone will be 72kgs, which feels so close and doable. The next milestone will be getting down to 68kgs (which is the weight I was last year) and the last/ ending goal will be reaching 63kgs.
4. I set a goal timeline. Not a strict one but an estimation of what I would be happy with, always in a realistic way of calculating/ planning. For example I aim to weigh 69,9kgs or less by late April and it feels really doable.
The end goal of 63kgs still seems far away, but a month ago it was nowhere near to be seen and now I'm seeing a light in the end of the tunnel, as I'm saying in the title. Honestly the biggest thing for me is getting back to 68kgs and after that everything will be better. I will obviously reassess when I get there and maybe I will not feel the need to get down to 63kgs, but shall I see!
