First month done! I lost 9 kg (20 lbs) Anyone feeling a little burnt out? I’ve stuck to my plan pretty rigorously and only deviated once.. it’s strange.. it don’t feel like I’m necessarily craving to get off my meal plan or even binge, it’s more mental? I miss the dopamine all the processed food used to give me haha… but I’m also just so sick of being this heavy and just want to be at a healthy weight now.. knowing I have such a long way to go sometimes makes it seem insurmountable..

btw, I’m curious are there any other people here from europe? I’m from Sweden/Finland🇸🇪🇫🇮

I’m not going to make the weight this month, I found out I was a couple months pregnant and then I lost it but had gained 5 lbs, do I still need to weigh in?

I’ve seen someone asking about mindset change and it made me think of how I switched the “i hate working out” mindset to my current one. I basically started lying to myself for the past few months: “yay! Time to go to the gym!”, “omg! I love the gym!”, things like that…..guess what, now I actually enjoy going to the gym. I like that I can listen to my podcasts without interruption, I like that I can focus on mysel and self-care instead of constantly worrying about some chore or someone needing something in my household. Soooo I hope this tip can help someone brainwash themselves like I did.

My quote of the day-

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
Groucho Marx

I think this mentality can be applied to our weight loss journey as well.

We can't dwell on yesterday. We can't really worry about tomorrow, or 6 months down the road for the final weigh-in.
What we CAN do, is in front of us today.

I've always been an emotional eater and that is something that has sabotaged me in the past. What is something you do when you need comfort, but don't want to turn to food?
