having a cycle & trying to lose weight is so draining

for reference im 21F, 5,2, 149.0. i eat 1,200 calories a day, sometimes i struggle to even eat that much & i do the treadmill 3 times a week, trying to get more days in. also i work on my feet. i’ve lost 11 pounds so far & i just started in september. but last month when i was ovulating up until midway through my period, i completely stalled. i stayed at 153 the entire almost 3 weeks. then halfway through my period, i dropped 4 pounds. i know it’s a normal thing, but it’s SO draining. i can literally only drop weight in one week. i know it’s a marathon, not a sprint but it’s exhausting waiting. my goal weight is 120, so i have 30 ish more pounds to go & i feel like it’s going to take me YEARS with how long my cycle keeps me from losing! i definitely feel a difference in my clothes & i know i’m losing inches.

i’m dying to see the change in my face & my body. i cannot wait to see myself at, at LEAST, 130. let alone 120. the dieting & exercise is easy for me, it’s just the waiting game & being so insecure in my own skin that’s draining. :/

just needed to vent, because talking about it to people around me is hard because they just don’t understand what’s it’s like because my boyfriend is basically the same weight as me but he can eat ANYTHING and not gain a pound. so when i’m stressed out trying to tell him how much i want this to work, he just doesn’t understand how it feels to struggle with weight loss & insecurities about your body.
