I recommend focusing on the kinds of food you eat with a such a low caloric intake. IE, focus on eating vegetables with every meal and some kind of protein option. See how those numbers add up and if you're losing weight, then go from there. It's hard as a shortie to focus on numbers when so many foods available and…

How often people would ask how i did it, then suggest other diets, then proceed to lecture me on the dangers of yoyo dieting as if i havent been losing weight and preparing for maitenance for the last five months. -.-

To be the best me, to discipline myself so I can achieve other goals, to control my depression, to increase my confidence.

Make it a point to never have two "bad" or treat days in a row. Enjoy your time with your family and indulging, but never do it two days in a row. Also, maybe ask them to hide foods from view that are "trigger" foods for you.

Monitor your food more closely and let yourself rest. If you push yourself before you've recovered, you'll be out longer than if you just took the time to rest. It's hard! But it's still worth it. You could also be more mindful about taking more walks during the day if it doesn't hurt your hamstring.

I had the same problem! Having no fun made me miserable and feel left out. Incorporating at least one treat day a week in coordination with the "never two in a row" rule really helped me change my mindset about treats, fun, and moderation. :) I hope it works for you too!
-
Thanks! Growing up, I was primarily a soccer player, so I had noooo upper body strength. It's been a trip seeing my muscles get defined and feeling them get harder and stronger. I definitely recommend it for anyone!

Hi there! First of all, congrats on your weight loss. You look healthy and strong to me! I'm also at a bit higher (143) than what I thought my ideal weight was (135), but I feel good here and know I can remain here, despite problem areas. In terms of leanness, after a certain point, it all becomes vanity and fitness…
-
I do a "never two days in a row" rule, so that if I have a treat one day, I won't have one the next. It helps me stay moderated, but also keeps me happy because I get my treats. :)
-
For holidays and treat days--I leave it to intuitive eating. If you've been losing or maintaining weight for a while, you know how much and what you should be eating from day to day anyways.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and nice comments! :) @ryenday Yeah, CICO just didn't click as well for me. It worked all right the first time, but the way I was doing it wasn't sustainable. Focusing on the kinds of foods I was eating and measuring those foods helped me wayyy more. Now, I feel like food choices are…

This. Acceptance changes everything. You could always let one day be a bad day, then try to make the next day not so bad.
