normally by now i’d be down 3 lbs or at least one but i’m the exact same weight. what’s going on?
I’ve been on weight loss journeys many times in my life — some successful, some not. But I’ve noticed over the past few years that every single time I diet, I feel like absolute crap a week in. I usually quit by the second week because it doesn’t change. Fatigue, brain fog, I feel less than human.
My deficit is for 1.5lbs/week so not super aggressive and I eat whole foods 90% of the time.
