And that's ok, it will be there tomorrow. I made my choices for the day, which resulted in me not being able to "afford" the snack I want right now. It also helps me at night when I get snacky to know I've eaten my calories today and need to just ignore my cravings. Putting that in my mind kept me thinking about it and how not worth it those things are. Also eating lunch out one day because you forgot to bring yours? Even the "cheapest" meal in calories most some places I would eat regularly was over 1000 calories. That's like 200-300 calories for a bottle, could be 400-600 if you're at a fast food place with a large cup. ![]() It's insane how many calories are in things that just aren't worth it when you're starting to track them. Basically just CICO and making sure I eat enough protein and iron. I've had some backsliding there too before I figured out how it works for me, and I'm happy I took it slow. Should be noted though that maintenance is maintenance at the current weight, so I still weigh myself once per week or every second week to make sure I'm not backsliding.įor reference I've lost around 20kg (need to update the flair at some point if I remember) in the span of about 2 years, out of which maybe half of the time I've been on maintenance and half actively losing weight.
