So I lost 40lbs over 6 months and felt awesome about myself. I was so disciplined in fasting and counting my calories. Then I met my boyfriend, he moved in and we started just eating junk and not giving a 💩 what we ate lol he gained 5lbs but he was at a decent weight for a man. Now he only weighs 16lbs more than I do and he’s 6 inches taller than me. I need motivation to stop eating junk with him and go back to my diet. After the 40 lbs I lost, I was supposed to lose another 20lbs so now my goal is 30lbs more. I give myself 5 months but I need to actually start. Thanks for reading! Btw I’m 5’5.5” and 159lbs now. Wish me luck!
You are lighter than I am but otherwise I could have written this! I’m also trying to work on strategies for getting back to the tools that worked for me before. The only success I’ve had so far is to plan and prep meals really well, because it’s easier to answer “what do you want to do for dinner” with “heat up that thing I made” rather than “I dunno… but I’m hungry so let’s go out”. One thing I’m trying to remember too is that I know what works, I’ve proven it works, so I need to get back to those habits that helped me lose. That said - easier said than done. I feel your pain and I’m rooting for you!
