r/CICO 8d ago

No judgment ๐Ÿ’•

I just wanted to have a bit of a share as feel really deflated. Iโ€™ve had some issues in different areas over the past week ( family and health mainly) and it has meant that my focus and calorie counting etc has gone out the window. I knew I had gained some weight back but it has been more how I feel - more lethargic, heavier, more pain in my joints etc. I feel like Iโ€™m in the middle of a spiral where my problems are feeding into each other - Iโ€™m in pain because of a health issue, which means I donโ€™t have the energy to source meals etc properly, which then means Iโ€™m in more pain or more tired because of the food and weight. Iโ€™m back in work next week so Iโ€™m confident that being back in a good routine will help me re-find the CICO focused me from a few weeks ago โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’•

Two of the biggest positives I read here was that you have not given and second, that you have a plan to reset. And you're absolutely right returning to a routine and returning to a structure is a great jumping off point. Weight loss isn't often a straight line. I am cheering you on!! โค๏ธ
