Just Peachy
Slowly But Surely
Well I've lost a stonne since the beginning of January which I'm really stoked about. I've been watching my BMR and I need to eat less calories now which I'm starting to find a little difficult.
I made a chart of different weights that go with calories for every 5 pounds I lose, and I'm finding it difficult to imagine eating down to 1050 calories a day when I'm eating 1250 a day now which requires a lot of restraint and willpower.
I can't really exercise now cos my ankle's still fragile from the sprain but eventually I'll be able to do some more. So I'll be able to eat a couple hundred more calories a day then, although I'm not sure I'll want to exercise every day.
Has anyone experienced this? Does it get harder eating less calories? How have you coped? Did it feel natural? Did you feel your stomach shrunk?
I'm finding this all a bit daunting :sigh:
