I completed exactly 25% of my weight loss journey, i lost 10kg (22 lbs) and i want to lose another 30 kg (66lbs). Its a big goal for me and my target weight is also close to underweight because i want to be more on the petite side. But lately its so hard to find motivation. I am losing weight constanly, i never go over my kcal, i do my workouts, pay attention to eat enough protein and fiber and i would say i eat 70% healthy food and 30% food that i really like. I count the calories, eating ~1600 daily.
But i am so tired of this. Yesterday i overate a bit, that why i ate my last meal at 2 pm bc i reached my kcal limit, so in the evening i was so hungry i couldnt fall asleep, i drank a big cup of tea but i feel so gross i have got a headache and i am hungry and also my weight went up 0.5kg (1.1 lbs). I know its all bc of my PMS, i will get my period in 2-3 days, but i am so demotivated and honestly i just wanna binge and eat an entire bag of cheese nachos with cheese dip and pizza and ice cream and.. ykwim. I know i made a mistake yesterday by eating high kcal/low volume food and then starving in the evening, i should have controled myself and plan my meals so i can eat in the evening - usually, i skip breakfast and eat my first meal around 13 pm so i can have a big meal in the evening.
I guess i just want to vent and i need some motivation not to give up. I know my scale will probably go up again tomorrow till i get my period and due to weighting myself daily i know my body and i dont panic, i pay attention to my weekly avg ONLY (i love the „happy scale” app) but ofc i still prefer to see the numbers going down. I am currently trying to (after weeks of counting kcal and knowing the kcal of all of foods i eat) stop counting and start estimating, i am learning what a normal portion is bc i used to eat huge portions. My goal is to stop counting completly because i cant imagine doing it for the rest of my life.
According to my tracker app i should reach my goal in 6-9 months. It seems like such a long time and i know the time will go by anyways but.. Everything feels so pointless at this moment.
I also started to run and i do this 3 times a week but sometimes my foot hurts and since yesterday it hurts more and i am really scared i wont be able to continue running. I love it and it helps my weight loss because thats the reason i can eat 1600 kcal and lose in the first place.
I am just so tired and i cant move a lot today due to the pain in food, i am craving so much food because of my PMS, i am tired of counting/estimating my calories, i almost snapped at my boyfriend yesterday for enjoying his food (buldak noodles with a cup of cream and cheese, like 1000 kcal meal, i would LOVE to have) because i just wanna eat like he does without paying attention to my kcal, but i know doing so i would gain weight. Please please Share your advice and experience with me how to deal with hard times without giving up. I wanna lose another 10kg (22lbs) and then i will escape the „overweight” range and then maybe try to mantain this weight for a month or two, to give myself a break but i want to reach the normal weight range fast, so running will be better for my joints.
A big point in feeling that way is the fact that nobody noticed my weight loss, i took some before and after pictures and i see a difference but it apparently not a big difference as nobody else noticed. I see my clothes are fitting better but i would love to get some compliments and attention for the hard work i put in.
I just needed to get it off my chest, and i just need a virtual hug or some advice. Thank you for taking the time to read & respond. I hope you have a nice day and feel less alone when ur day sucks because we are in it together 👏🏻
