In October 2020, I weighed 332.0lbs. Through 2MAW (two meals a week), by June 2021 I was down to 205.0lbs and I felt great (127.0lbs lost).
But then I fell off the wagon and regained more than half the weight I had lost. I’m back at 276.6lbs and I’m quite frustrated/disappointed with myself for regaining 71.6lbs over the course of just 15 months! I just updated my user flair and it made me sad.
Part of the problem is that I really get the munchies when I use cannabis; but I enjoy using it too much to give it up—it’s just how I unwind at the end of a long day.
Now I’d really like to get back into it, but I don’t feel as motivated as I did in 2020-2021. I’m thinking of kicking this off with a nice long extended fast—maybe two weeks (which is what I had done back in 2020 when I first got started).
Even though I’ve got less weight to lose this time around, I’m finding it way more difficult to get motivated. What do you all do to “get back into it”?
There are a ton of books that I love to read for motivation: courage is calling, atomic habits, complete guide to fasting, I also bought a halo view fitness tracker (80\~ bucks). Doing the full body scan is pretty cool.
Hi I basically did the same thing , lost a decent amount , felt great and then ate like a teenager until I gained 2/3rds back . Went back to fasting last month and so far it’s going well and I’m already almost back to my previous lower weight . One thing I’d say is be cautious setting such a difficult fast as your first one , unless you find fasting really easy you could be setting yourself up to fail. I personally did a week of rolling 24s, two weeks of rolling 36s and then went to anything above 72hrs to end when I’ve had enough ( usually 4/5 days)
