Other Observations:

  • I think I have a subconscious fear that CICO is simply gonna stop working for me one dayā€¦
  • Aubergine is my favourite food ever I keep craving it but itā€™s become such a huge fear food I hate this irrationality :unamused:

I guess an association needs to be built between bp and wiping out your overall deficit.

I mean that wipes out 9 days of 500 cal deficit, which isnā€™t easy to recover from.

Not sure how one goes about succeeding with building this though. :frowning:

@GTIPuG yeh fair enough I was thinking that; I think a slight one already has been built although the getting rid of some food weight messes with that associative link.
Time to attempt to use psych to re-condition my brain :joy:

In a counter-intuitive sense I think sometimes when the scale increases or I predict itā€™s gonna increase the next day I end up bp-ing bc i want to associate bp with weight gain which is kind of stupid but welp
(Conditioning gone wrong)

Day 335

Weight: 49.1kg idk what Iā€™m doing whoops I need a direction :confused: WHERE IS MY DRIVE TO LOSE WEIGHT

Food Intake: (1450kcal++++++++ aka too much)

  • Lunchā€”1/2 MochaFS Huel
  • etc. ahaha brb writing essay :joy:

Activity: (1830kcal out)

  • T25 Upper Focus (124)
  • 9863 steps total

Other Observations:

  • Re-framing: I think Iā€™m partly mentally paralysed bc my deficits are no longer very realistic: on days Iā€™m not as active itā€™s simply not realistic to have a 500cal deficit without being unhealthy. My BMR is literally 1197kcal now and it continues to decrease as my weight goes down. SO Iā€™m gonna reduce my expectations.
  • Iā€™m gonna aim for 1kg/month = 2.2lbs/month = 7700kcal deficit/month = 257kcal deficit/day
  • Some days will have a bigger deficit, some days will be less, some days may go over. But Iā€™m no longer looking for a 500kcal deficit because thatā€™s unrealistic. I havenā€™t ā€œfailedā€ if I donā€™t have a huge deficit. Consistency will win out in the end. Since Iā€™m aiming for ~1500kcal I just need to have TDEEs of ~1750-1800kcal! Thatā€™s realistic! If I do so, Iā€™ll reach 45kg by July. No rush.
