How do you guys cope with the scale not reflecting all of your hard work? I committed myself to 6 weeks of consistency but it’s becoming hard to stay motivated and I’m starting to think I’ll lose this dietbet. 14 days in: total 1lb gain 😭
I’m not going to lie, my starting weight (265) was super inflated from the holidays and binge eating after my kids go to bed so I thought this would melt off with the changes I’ve made. Previously eating 3500 cals + a day. I would easily down a few slices of pizza, blue cheese, breadsticks and a whole Ben & Jerry’s at night. Was almost completely sedentary sitting to play with the kids, sitting to rock the baby, etc.
- currently eating under 1600/ day (usually around 1400).
- Weighing, measuring and tracking every bite.
- Hiring babysitters to get to the gym every day
- incorporating movement at home (just dance and walking)
- fasting from supper until breakfast (6pm - 9am) I don’t go back downstairs after my kids bedtime.
-10,000 steps, upped water, tracking protein and carbs.
I’m hungry I’m sad, what else should I do? It doesn’t seem worth it to take time from my baby and restrict myself from foods I love to indulge in for no progress. Praying my body gets the memo over the next 4 weeks it
