YES! I think you can try to hard to lose weight and it doesnt work out!!
I remember when I first started I would get so stressed out and was on the scale everyday...
going .... crazy....
I was eating EXACTLY 1200 calories a day, and I had like 1 full blown cheat day a week (which i later on discovered doesnt work out for me or my weight loss to well) I actually hit a 3 week plateau extremely quick (which made me even crazier lol)
anywho
Now a days, I am more relaxed, I go workout 3-4 times a week (used to it was 5) I do run at least 1x a week (it used to be 3x a week)
Im on 1400 calories I DONT HAVE A CHEAT DAY
but im not going to lie,
my 1400 theres a lot of great choices in those calories i get to eat daily...but I have thrown in cookies, a few really bad carbohydrates, etc...not everyday but i will say at least 2x a week...
and sometimes, i even go over into 1500 calories
(lol)
but I dont regret being crazy dieter when i very first started..what is different now than what it was then is I feel like when I very first started I DID have to be obsessed with my eating...I did have to back away from social situations that involved having drinks, sweets, snacks, going out to eat etc to get myself on track, I felt like i had to eat, drink, breath, sleep HEALTHY HABITS because before this I was a mess...
Now that I KNOW what i need to eat, or what the healthier choices are, Im more relaxed, it feels really good because I really love to eat, I dont feel like im hungry, or sad or anything just regular...
and I feel like im losing weight now even better than I was before when I started...
and it makes me happy
So being too crazy about it can cause problems, but for me i felt like thats what had to happen!
