I Ate Pizza!!!

Hi to you all. Just a short entry so hope it makes it past the rules and onto the board.

As the title suggests I ATE PIZZA. Was here a couple of weeks ago saying I was craving it and loooads of you got in touch to say "Just eat it as long as you got room to count it in" and you know what, I had room yesterday! So I went out and got myself a frozen pepperoni thin crust pizza, 381kCal for a 1/2. 762 kCal for the whole shebang.

It was so good! I prepared the whole pizza as usual and sat down to watch The Muppets Christmas Carol (the true start of Christmas for me is when this film comes on). I was full before the last slice! But I ate it anyway and it gave me wind. Should have saved it for when I got home later, but it's so hard to leave one lonely slice.

Then.. I went out and had drinks for our works Christmas do. Calorie counted it all. I had been to the gym that morning which helped give me wiggle room. Had a mini life babybel between 2 rice cakes thrown in the microwave for post drinks munch. I'm the end came to -222 kCal on MFP linked to my fitbit (so some dancing had given me more wiggle room). Over my daily weight loss target but still well under maintenance.

Yesterday and the day before I weighed 168.0. Today.. 168.2 and I don't feel disgusting or bloated or ashamed of myself. Throw on top mother nature giving her monthly present to me and I'm still on track and fine!

Thanks to everyone for just telling me to (wo)man up and just eat pizza. If you don't let yourself eat what you want you'll get sad with the cravings. Just make sure you have space for it.

Well that turned out longer than I thought.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. I now know I'm not going to be scared on Christmas day because to me pizza was my biggest vice, but I've controlled myself and enjoyed it and I will do this again on the 25th!!

I’m so confused by this weight loss business, HELP!

Hello lovely losers ! I love this subreddit and am a regular browser here, so I hope you can help a sista out !

I am a 5ft1.5 F/29 y/o ( soon to be 30!) / CW: 126lbs GW:112 - medium and petite frame, endomorph “soft” body type ( big bust , never had a flat tummy but still a shorty blah blah) . I have a really high body fat % for my height, though I’ve never had it measured. I can just see all the fat sitting all over my stomach in particular and I look flabby and out of shape and round.

Anyway! My dilemma is the following : for exactly one month I’ve been trying to lose weight, eating 1200 cals a day RELIGIOUSLY, to the point of being pedantic , using a scale , measuring condiments, milk in my tea etc.

In one month I weigh exactly the same as I did when I started :/ I don’t know wtf is going on ! During this process I’ve been lifting @ gym 4 x p/wk and trying to be as active as I can while working a sedentary , FT job. Basically, pushing myself a lot and , to be perfectly honest, feeling exhausted and crappy on 1200 cals a day.

My Q is - does this mean 1200 is my maintenance amount ? How can this possibly be ?! It’s so low and I feel like shit eating so few calories. Would I be better off trying to increase my calories and doing a body recomp instead ? Even though I do want and need to lose 15 lbs ? I am so scunnered with the whole thing ( to use a Scottish word!) because I thought that eating 1200 would guarantee a loss for my height.

Does anyone have any advice ? Is the lack of loss water weight from starting a gym routine as a newbie ? Could it be to do w my hormones ? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance kind redditors.

*PS -not sure if this is relevant but around the same time I started dieting I also took a break from the pill, as I ran out of it. I have endometriosis and the pill keeps it under control. I started back on it yesterday.

**PPS - a year ago I was at the same weight I am now and managed to get to my 112 lbs ( yo yo dieter , I know :/) by eating 1500 calories without doing any exercise ! So I am totally bamboozled as to why this isn’t working !

Been having a hard time this week but had a big (to me) self-control win today.

It's that time of the year for us uni students: finals. I've been slacking in the past 1-2 weeks with the diet with several cheat days, luckily not gaining much but not losing anything either. I'd like to blame it on the stress of finals, but I also know I could be doing better.

Anyway, today I had decided I'd jump back on the diet, but as the day went by, 6 hours of studying can change your mind about things. I was contemplating ordering chinese from my favorite restaurant for like an hour, and I almost did, but then I put my phone down... and then picked it back up and ordered it. I was excited about it because I hadn't had it in several months, and started driving to pick it up. It was about a 12 minute drive there plus 12 min back, which means I had 24 minutes to think about this choice I'd made.

I began to be disappointed in myself for caving since I said I'd get back on the diet but I also didn't want to waste the food (an excuse I've often made after making a poor decision and having food leftover). But, once I got home, I made a decision I didn't know I was capable of. With the food actually in front of me, I called my sister who's really supported me throughout this process, and told her about the situation. I knew I didn't want to eat it but I needed that extra boost to solidify that decision. Ultimately, I decided NOT to eat any of it, and gave it to my roommate instead.

I was afraid this diet was going down a slippery slope, but this event has renewed my faith in MYSELF to be able to complete it. Also, I just wanted to thank you all for helping me by just always supporting everyone and also the contests you run! The Mario challenge was a GREAT way to kickoff the weight loss journey for me!

Update: anyone else get ravenous?

A week ago, I wanted to eat everything in sight. I posted about it, and, amazing community that this is, I got confirmation that it’s normal, most people feel that way and just have to push through it. That helped give me strength to fight through the part that always beats me during weight loss. I also took a lot of your advice, and I think that really helped as well.

Today I tried on a pair of jeans that have not even allowed me to close the button at the top, let alone zip up. I buttoned and zipped, and happily wore them all day. Yes, they are definitely still too tight, but I was just so pleased I could get them on and off. The other advantage, since they are high rise jeans, is that the tightness made sure I didn’t over eat at my meals! I feel my fullness sooner than when wearing looser, stretchier fits. This is a double win, as I am currently at a time of the month where my body is bloated, and things tend to fit less well.

I haven’t been weighing myself, but I can see the results in what clothing fits already! (Still too nervous to weigh in. I get really caught up in the numbers.)

Thank you, r/loseit, for being there and constantly giving me motivation and strength. You are all amazing!

Weight loss can take a harder mental and physical toll than some people realize.

I’m in a bit of a slump. Have been for the past week. And I need to and I want to bounce back. But it’s hard when the weight isn’t coming off fast enough and it’s so much fucking work keeping track of every single thing that you eat plus going to the gym for an hour and a half daily. The actual physical pain that comes from that and the mental pain where you have to keep reminding yourself that you’re not the same as the people around you. That you’re not normal and you can’t do this and that or eat this and that because of it. It’s like I don’t deserve to live a normal life. It’s like I’m punishing myself under the guise that it’s good for me.

I just want to be a normal 23 year old and I can’t because of all this weight. And it’s hard. Sometimes. I plan on meal prepping properly and going to the gym tomorrow to kick this slump I’ve been in for the last week but it’s still a bit nerve racking when I’ll be baking cookies for work that you can’t even eat.

And for reference I’m 350lbs and 6’0.

I surpased my weight loss goal, and I still hate my body

5'1 female. My goal was 120, I got to 112. Went from just overweight to a 21 BMI in about a year. No matter what the number on the scale is I can still feel my stomach fat go up and down when I run. I still have love handles. I still look like a fucking pear. I still have fat where triceps should be. Weight training hasn't done shit. And honestly, I'm getting sick more often than before. No matter how much I jack up the weight/reps/sets or ruthlessly watch my form nothing changes. I feel exactly the same as I did before except now I have to obsessively watch what I eat, I'm feel like I'm always starving, and I barely burn any calories from cardio because I do it 6 days a week. I feel like I'm wasting 1.5 hours, 6 days a week at the gym because I feel exactly the fucking same. And honestly I probably look the same too. The high of becoming a healthy weight is no longer enough to make me happy and back to hating myself again. I'm very seriously considering plastic surgery but my parents would be so disappointed in me...
