My posts will be a mix of t•xic £D thoughts, actually helpful tipps on we¡ghtI•ss, asking for advice, etc.
If you are a minor with an £D please read the following:
I know you want to be sk ¡nny and I understand why. But it sucks always having to worry about food and cal•ries, doesn’t it? Even if you have reached your gw, you’re afraid to gain it back. You will never be free. Always scared, stressed, moody. ⭐️ving yourself, b¡ng¡ng/Prg¡ng - there will always be a reason for you to hate yourself. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be free of the food noise, the self hatred, the constant worrying. Please reach your gw without an £D or it will never be enough. You deserve to feel good in your body.
Skipping meals, feeling sick around food and especially when it hits the stomach. Haven't pvrgd in days simply because it's not necessary which is a dream come true. The scaIe is going down slowly and steadily.
Important: making sure to eat enough protein and nutrients. I wanna be a sk¡n ny angel not a d¡sabIed one that can't move without shaking.
Well guys, I'm back and still chilling at my gw. How I did it? Staying within my weekly maintenance and p_®ging when I f'ed up.
I'm happy now even tho my methods are arguably wrong but I feel so good.
LOCK TF IN YALL!!! If your an°🦖ia consumes your mind, you'll never reach an ultimate gw. It'll never be enough and you'll be nothing but a sad l°ser who wasted their life focusing on being unhappy.
Yes I wanna be skinnier so bad but no I will never be so cringe that I will glorify the £Ds of other people, especially minors. My £D belongs to me, why would I encourage other people to suffer??
Made cookie dough following a recipe I found on Pinterest. Instead of honey I used maple syrup, instead of almond flour I used almond meal, and I chopped up the last bit of dark chocolate I used for baking.
It is very sweet and I didn’t finish it. Maybe it’s the protein powder I used or because I replaced honey with maple syrup. I have more recipes saved to try later.
a weight plateau happens due to metabolic adaptation; where you have been in a calorie deficit or doing extreme diets for months without breaks and your weight isn't going anywhere. this is your body's way of protecting you or conserving energy.
a weight plateau is not rare and can happen at any time, especially once your body adapts to a certain intake. but, if you are truly in a calorie deficit, you will lose fat even if the scale shows that you're maintaining your weight.
metabolic adaptation is only a temporary response, if you follow the things down below, you'll most likely see a change and your metabolism will start to improve (with time) !!!
some things you should check if you suspect you might've hit a plateau:
✿ your water intake
❀ some people confuse a weight plateau with water retention. it is EXTREMELY important to note that water retention CAN cause the scale to maintain and can cause you to look "bulky" or "fat". make sure you're staying hydrated and drinking at least 2-4 bottles of water daily !!! i promise there will be a major difference.
✿ start tracking your calories for a few days (if you haven't been doing that already)
❀ this one is obvious. but sometimes we're prone to underestimating our meals or forgetting things we've eaten throughout the day. sometimes it's just out of plain embarrassment, where we're too ashamed to write it down. but it is super important to document everything you've eaten, especially if it's to see if you're truly in a plateau or if it's just miscalculations. if you're not into calorie counting, then portion control can be a good alternative.
✿ start exercising
❀ it doesn't have to be anything extreme, just moving your body might help. it doesn't matter if you get 4k steps or do a 10 minute video, all movement is good movement and might help break your plateau.
✿ while on the topic of exercise, make sure the exercises that you're doing aren't causing muscle gain.
❀ i have pcos and it doesn't help that due to my genetics, i tend to build muscle extremely easily as well. when i do exercises like cycling or leg pilates or any exercise in general that engages one point of muscles too much, they start to appear bulky after a few days and the scale ends up maintaining or going up. i've learned that just walking at a moderate pace is what works best for me and ever since i stopped cycling, the scale started dropping and i've gotten skinnier. with that being said, find out if your exercises are the reason for the scale maintaining, pay close attention to measurements and/or before and after photos, and check for symptoms of pcos if you suspect you have it!
✿ if none of these are the culprit, then it's definitely time for a metabolism/refeed day (or week... or month)
❀ eat somewhere close to your maintenance (TDEE) for a few days and then after some time you can start restricting again… that way your weight on the scale will start dropping.
❀ if you want to avoid these plateaus in the future, it's important to implement at least 1 or 2 metabolism days a week AND follow everything that i mentioned before !!
❀ it should be noted that you do not have to have metabolism days, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. it honestly just depends on the person. like for me, i've stayed around the same calorie intake since december 2024. i was steadily losing weight until one day the scale kept maintaining in february 2025 despite doing my workouts and being in my deficit. it was only until i started upping my water intake is when the scale started dropping again. i barely had to do any refeed days. however, this isn't guaranteed to work for another person. it all just depends on how your body reacts so do whatever works best for your body ♡
⭐️ving yourself is not the way to go if you wanna lose fat. Make sure to eat enough protein and plan cheat days where you eat close to your maintenance cal in order to prevent your metabolism from slowing down.
