I (30f, 5‘5, 185lbs) started my fitness journey in march 2024 and started going to the gym weightlifting 4x a week and did do 10k steps per day till today . It really became my routine and normal life. But I struggle with eating. The first year I would say I was in a decent deficit nothing to much but I was not counting calories. I tried to eat enough protein most of the time. The last 8-10 months I really got bad again with my eating and drinking more alcohol. I still went to the gym and made my steps and was trying to eat some protein but I still gained some weight back, that I lost.
Now after almost 2 years of my journey I feel demotivated. I would say my body changed significantly because of the weightlifting and I generally feel more comfortable in my body. But when I started this journey I thought after 2 years I would be a total different person. I almost lost no weight, which is not that bad because I know I gained muscle and lost fat but it’s still making me feel like I didn’t achieve anything. Now I don’t know what to do because I feel like I can’t do again a moderate cut for a long period because this feels very unmotivated and I feel like I will just continue eating like I’m doing now. I was thinking to start a more aggressive cut on the 1. January for 3 months and cut out all alcohol and almost sugar and go in a more significant deficit. But I don’t know if this would be to harsh and make me after the 3 months gain everything back? I’m really trying to find a balance which I was doing the last years but this approach didn’t really bring me my goals. Or am I to easy going and need to face some more harsh discipline?
Thanks for your advice!
