My SW was 160 kg/350 lbs and through calorie counting, quitting alcohol and tons of exercise I managed to shave it down to a lot more manageable 121kg/266lbs since February, though at my 5'9" and UGW of 145lbs there's obviously still a long way to go.
I... kind of worked myself raw. I am currently doing 20k steps every day on average and I'm very strict with counting. I kept a deficit of around 2000 a day, just because I could, but I'm constantly exhausted and food and alcohol thoughts keep creeping up.
I didn't give myself cheat days, but I did unplanned breakdowns where I returned to the old habit of binging both food and alcohol. I tried punishing myself for them but, obviously, that's not how this works. July was my worst month yet with me constantly reaching for the old comforts and being obsessed with hitting my step goals and weighing myself in every goddamn morning on the days when I'm not harming myself with alcohol or food.
I think I'm demanding way too much from myself and that hampers my long-term progress. I'm contemplating cutting down my deficit to 1000-1500 a day while at the same not walking as much, so I'm eating the same amount but demand of my body less, if you guys get what I'm trying to say.
Also want to switch to weighing myself every week instead of every day, despite how much my loseit app may demand otherwise.
Thoughts on my plans? Any further advice?
