The moment of truth arrived again this morning. The scale said I have lost 0.8kg since last week and the measuring tape that I have gained 0.4cm on my waist. It's probably just due to the inaccuracy of my measuring since most of the weight loss happened the first day of this week though.
It's undoubtedly good news are that I have lost almost 1kg but I still can't help but feel a bit disappointed since all of that weight came off on the first two days of the week and nothing happened during the rest of the week. I worry that I'm only eating little enough to get rid of the extra fluid, but not little enough to actually lose weight.
It's stupid of course, I'm eating 1500kcal per day now which it should be enough. I don't want to cut down the calories yet since I'm occasionally hungry during the day as it is and like every dieter knows, hunger is your worst enemy. I have done that mistake often enough to know it's something to avoid as much as I can.
I'm not blessed with the best patience when it comes to losing weight, so I usually would try to lose as much weight as quickly as possible. Eating 1200kcal or less per day works great, for a week. Then hunger would make me slip. Sometimes I'd manage two weeks, but then I'd either slip, or get frustrated with my metabolic rate slowing down, making the weight loss slow down with it.
I suppose I'll give it another week and just try to be a bit more strict with myself. It's after all only normal that you don't constantly lose weight even when you are eating appropriately, right? :3
