it’s just what works best for your body so like at the end of the day are you still hungry? so you might need to up your calorie intake (i am not a medical professional in any way but i do have a lot of personal experience) ALSO having a food scale is REALLY helpful

its also normal to feel frustrated and stuck, i have hashimotos and that in itself makes it hard for me to loose any amount of weight but you got this!

this might sound kinda cheesy but i think also going on a journey on learning how to love yourself and your body and what it does for you is also important it was very helpful for me it might help you

ya def it’s just harder for me bc somedays i look smaller and i feel like im getting smaller and other days i dont ? but i also have extreme body dysmorphia but i just would like a lower body fat percentage so i can feel and look like im actually active yk ?

this is fair i also have body dysmorphia sometimes and i think that just has to do with us being women and society telling us we need to be a certain size which is bull shit but! if you’re working out you need that muscle and fat and also “actually active” doesn’t have a specific look there are soooo many people that are different shapes and sizes like for me i am 5’1 190 right now and i play rugby i lift and push heavy i eat well for the most part and i can do all of that because of my body

yea thats why u cant stick with it, would you rather see results and be unable to keep them bc you keep yoyo dieting or be patient and consistently keep the weight off?

patience is key you’re not gonna lose 30 pounds in a month for one that’s unrealistic and very unhealthy
