How do i have a cheat meal instead of a cheat day?

I have lost 180lbs, but i struggle with binge eating badly. I have been able to lose the weight by avoiding all bad foods. This has helped me be successful with weight loss however now that im a normal size i have literally no idea how to maintain my weight and have honestly been struggling mentally than i ever have in my life.

I want to have a cheat meal or start reintroducing bad foods in moderation. However i have no idea how to moderate and i do not believe that i am capable of going out and just leaving it at one meal. I am confident that even if i make it home afterwards, i will end up going back to the store to continue binging. So how do i get past this?

The way i see it, i am going to feel equally as bad about myself for having one full meal as i would for having an entire day long binge. And since it could be a month or more before i allow myself to indulge again i may as well get my moneys worth and stuff my face before the night ends. Since im going to hate myself all week regardless.

Then there is another side of me that is tired of hating myself and feel that it would be best to just avoid the cheat meal all together, which is how ive been living my life for a while now. I just wish i could get past this. Im so tired of being confused. Life was 1000000 times easier as an obese person.

I'm starting my weight loss journey.

This is the first time I've posted really anything on Reddit but for the past couple of years I've really struggled with my weight and hating how I look. And for the past couple of years my weight has always been fluctuating but now I want to lose all the weight I've put on in the past years. I'm starting a diet and I'm excited to see the results I've cut back on a lot of bad greasy foods and sugary drinks. Wish me luck. And to anyone else who is going through the same thing I wish you all luck as well.

Does anyone gaslight themselves into thinking they haven’t made much progress + mentally prepare for seeing someone who last saw you before weight loss?

I’m about to meet some people I have not seen since I’ve started actively putting effort into losing weight. I find myself wanting to see myself from their POV, which I know sounds so weird.

I will go back to pictures of when we were last together and try to convince myself I haven’t lost that much weight.

I know weight is a sensitive topic and I don’t particularly enjoy the idea of commenting on people’s bodies, but sometimes I feel a bit of achievement from and desire to receive unprompted comments about my weight loss to confirm I did something right.

Even with clothes, I’ll start to notice something I bought 3 months ago is falling off my waist and convince myself it has always fit that way even though I know it isn’t true.

It’s so odd. Anyone else do this? Lol

Just wanted to share my progress!!!!

I (22F, 5'2) started my weight loss journey on 17th April 2024, at 75 kg. This was my highest weight and i was diagnosed with fatty liver and gallstones. This was a wake-up call for me and I knew I couldn't let my eating habits take control of me.

1.5 months of working out 2 times a day, eating only home-made, healthy food, abstaining from chocolates and late night binges, and I'm now at almost 70 kg! I know it might not seem a lot, but losing just one kg seemed impossible a few months ago. No matter what I did, I couldn't move below 75 kg.

Best part? The inch loss is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I clicked a before after picture of myself and noticed that I've lost a lot of fat, I couldn't notice it in day-to-day progress, but it's a huge difference!

My goal is 55 kg, i still have a long way to go, but I'm so so excited now! The destination, for the first time, seems possible!!! ❤️

I’m down 20 pounds!!

I (f, SW: 162, CW: 141) finally got past the 20 pound mark. I only have 10 pounds to go. I’m tearing up just thinking about it. I did it.

I started in late January of this year. I exercise at least 30 minutes a day and eat at a deficit of 1500 cals. The year prior to starting and sticking with it, I tried so many times to commit but I just couldn’t since my mental health was at such a low. Now I realize that in order to help my mental health I needed to treat my body better. I didn’t completely cut out sweets, I still bake a lot and have at least one chocolate every other day but now I eat more protein and fiber and have cravings for veggies and fruits instead of chips and candy. I get more sleep and have more energy for my job that I love.

I’m proud of myself. I love myself. And maybe the weight loss didn’t do that for me but the change in diet and lifestyle definitely did.

I’ve never really loved myself like this before and it’s great.

Weight Loss at 40 is 😫

I've had to lose weight before in my 20s and it was very easy. Now that om almost 40, post baby, it has been VERY difficult for me to control my eating/what I eat and to work put. I have free weights and would like to start doing strength training in the morning before work 4/5 days a week. But I'll only have 30 minutes.i have a treadmill, but like I said I'll only have 30 minutes to get a workout in. Also,I have fibromyalgia and ibs-c, and things like running, jumping HIIT are just not an option, im just in too much pain. Should I juat do strength training, split says between strength training and treadmill, or try to fit it all in 30 minutes? (Also will be pairing with calorie deficit)

Getting back on track after falling back to old habits at home

My weight loss journey has had lots and lots of ups and downs. In total I’ve lost 65-70 pounds since last March. I have moved back home for the summer after Ive been at university and after being home for almost a month, I realized I have been falling back to old habits I used to have before starting university in 2021. Ive been eating a lot more than I should, haven’t been fasting, and haven’t been doing much besides working.

I’ve definitely had some stressors that could have contributed to my setback. I don’t want to let the largest setback I’ve had during this journey discourage me or make me feel bad, so I’m going to go back to what I was doing during university and fast and eat less, even if it’s going to be a lot tougher since I am now focusing on my work, social, and family life for the next few months
