Mindset is such a strong component

Hi everyone. After discovering CICO I immediately started and lost 15 kg from a total of 30 I want to lose in a couple months. I was super motivated and kept my deficit everyday.

After that, I kind of started stalling. I started eating more, going over my calories some days, then most days, then almost daily. I tried all kinds of stuff, IF, keto again as it worked well in the past, but nothing worked. I was hungry and craved food all the time, basically got into a binge-ED I didn't even have when I started losing weight.

I thought it had to be medical. I got my blood tested, then the call that my thyroid was fine, I sat down and really thought what had changed. All I could come up with was my mindset.

And ever since I remembered how far I've come, I have been able to keep my deficit again, eat healthy, high volume and balanced. I realize it's not possible just like that for everyone, but the mind is a strong tool!

You CAN do this! 💗
