I just realized something. I’m officially 70 lbs down today since last summer. How did I do it? -CICO. -Realizing I didn’t have to have “cheat” days. (That, to me, has a negative connotation.). I did what I have said before.. usually indulging without overindulging. -I didn’t beat myself up if I went over on calories or took a day or two away from a workout. I just got back on track. After getting back on track, I figured out that those “off” days were/are needed. -I realized that food wasn’t my enemy. I was. Food doesn’t have emotions. I do. -I stopped (recently) unintentionally chasing a calorie burn number. I focus on making the best of each session.

CICO has been a blessing to learn because I’m an utter keto failure 😂 AND I have been enjoying sweet potatoes without negative consequences. 😁
And your view on "off days" is another good lesson. It's so easy to fall into the mindset of "Well I already screwed up and ate something that didn't adhere perfectly to my dietary regimen so I might as well blow it completely and give up." That's such a trap!
Thanks for sharing your wisdom 🙏

Well said! And congrats with a great accomplishment! I agree with you with the word cheat, I like to used the word "spoil" when endulging some days! CICO works for me as well!

70 pounds is fantastic! Congratulations. 🌟🌟🌟 CICO works for me too, there are so many different kinds of food I love, I just can't let any of them go completely. You're doing great, keep it up!
