I'm a 5'1 27 year old lady and I have dropped from 174lbs to 128lbs in the past year and a half taking me down from obese to a healthy BMI. Yay! My method has been CICO (1300 to 1400 per day) with an effort to eat more protein. I started working out 3 times a week at about the 150lb mark and have been eating back half of my exercise calories. My original goal when I started was 120 lbs.
As I get closer to my goal I feel my motivation waning. I honestly feel happy with where my body is at and the final 8lbs seem arbitrary. I haven't lost any weight for about a month due to lots of cheating and I'm kind of OK with that. I've been having more and more "bad days" and my "good days" are getting harder. I honestly sit at my desk dreaming of food, I wake up hungry and I go to bed hungry. The idea of eating at maintenance is very very appealing. But in this current "good day/bad day" cycle if I eat at maintenance on good days then I know the weight will pile back on.
I've read before that this transition is the most dangerous for gaining weight back and I'm honestly struggling with how I can keep the weight off for the rest of my life without an immense about of discipline and will power. I thought I had created good habits and learned a new lifestyle.... But.... Apparently not.
Any wise words?
