Vent post.
TLDR: I lost 2lb. this month but was hoping for more progress, and am upset and hungry.
I've been at it for a month, and I looked back and wrote down my "progress".
I'm new to this, specifically the healthier version of this, so please bear with me. I have a history with ED.
I'm 5'6, 167.8lb. I gained 30-40lb in the span of a year, plateaued for another. I got out of shape and had a poor diet, so I'm actively trying to do better and have seen 0 progress. The only progress I've seen is in my cardio at the gym, (3x a week, 30min.-1hr.)
My biggest daily difficulties are staying hydrated and staying consistent. I've always had a hard time drinking water, and on some days I eat 700 calories, others I eat 2000. My goal is 1300. I'm trying to do better.
My total average caloric intake for the month is 1394.5.
Week 1, I lost 1lb.
Week 2, 0.2lb.
Week 3, 2lb.
Week 4, I gain 2lb.
Week 5, I lose 0.8lb.
Technically, I lost 2lb, but on June 29, I weighed 167.8, and today I weigh (July 28) 167.8. I've lost no inches in thigh and stomach (but I've only started measuring two weeks ago because I thought it maybe would be muscle.)
I feel so frustrated. I take a plethora of medications, (antipsychotic, ssri, anti anxiety..) so I hope it's not related, but I really feel like I should've seen more this month. A lb. a week is what I was hoping for, even with my inconsistencies and dehydration. I've drastically changed my diet and I'm persistently hungry and all I want to do is eat some ice cream, and a year ago, I would've finished an entire tub of it. :(
