Hello all!
I hesitated before posting because, funnily enough, I kinda feel bad for asking for support from people I don't know... Kinda like burdening people by complaining...
Buy M y weight loss journey is kinda taking a turn towards a slow bend, and I'm kinda getting discouraged.
Long story, but back in July 2015, I started the Ideal Protein diet. I was 181lbs. I was breastfeeding, so I followed a very loose alternative plan. With time, by January 2016, I dropped down to 136lbs. I was so happy!! I felt healthier, I started exercising, I had such a renewed sense of self that I didn't have before.
Then I started a new job, ate out with clients more, enjoyed summer a bit too much, justified my bag of chips by saying, hey, I bike everyday! And now.... In just 5 months, I jumped back to 156lbs....
I'm devastated that my weight has come back on. My own fault, i know, but I've been trying to loose it back for the past month, and all I lost so far is 2.6lbs.
And it hurt me when I found out my own mother-in-law, who was so negative about my weight loss, told everyone how much weight I gained back.
Ideal Protein was way too expensive. I'm trying to keep my carbs under 50g and my protein over 80g but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm worried that I fudged my system by loosing so much weight and eating so little calories....
I guess, I need to hear from other people who had ups and down and to reassure me that this setback is sucky, but that it's possible to pick up and continue the journey even though I have a wobbly wheel....
Thank you for listening to me rant...
An intro!
