I am 37 years old, 1.67 cm tall, and weigh 75 kg. I started with CICO at 78 kg and enthusiastically stuck to the diet. I wondered what this motivational slump everyone talks about is and how it would affect me. I was so successful; it seemed like a finally logical equation: you stick to the plan, and you see the results on the scale. I was excited to step on the scale. I had managed to get down to 74 kg.
For the past 1.5 weeks, not only has my weight plateaued, but I’ve also been gaining weight. My stomach feels weird, and something might be wrong with my digestion. But after one and a half weeks of steadily gaining weight, even though I’m eating 1300 calories and walking around 10,000 steps a day, I’ve now hit my motivational slump. I’m scared to step on the scale in the morning. I don’t think I’m at the point of giving up yet, but I’m in such a bad mood. I can’t stand the mornings anymore.
I know it has to work, but at the same time, I’m questioning myself so much. I constantly feel like I’m consuming hidden calories that I don’t even notice, so it’s no wonder I’m not losing weight. Or maybe I’m just doomed to be overweight, and it’s genetic.
I know it’s only been one and a half weeks, but now I realize that this journey is going to be much more challenging than I expected in my initial euphoric starting phase.
