June was a great month for me. Tracked calories every single day, exerciseda lot, lost 5kg. I was feeling great, full of energy, hopeful.
Unfortunately willpower is a finite resource, and life required me to focus mine on more pressing matters. One day i didnt exercise quickly became 10, wich became 2 months. I have already reverted back to old habits, and gained it all back. It'z bizarre to see how easy and frequent i can binge when not counting. Or how 2 months of living in auto-mode pass so quickly compared to a single month where i'm putting in the effort every day.
I was even feeling LESS hunger when counting calories and eating healthy stuff, i know my problem is emotional eating and not having consistency.
It's really depressing to think i just wasted a month of hard effort on a month and a half of living in automatic mode. And it also makes me scared to put in the effort again, just to make a mistake and gain it all back, again and again. Hard to have motivation and confidence when i have failed all of my life. My therapist says i'm being too hard on myself, but if i can't see a way to start this journey if i'm now pissed at myself.
I already know WHAT and HOW to do it, but i really need help on how to keep it going long term. What makes you keep going, instead of falling back and having consecutive cheat days?
Wish you all strength on your journeys, friends!
