So it has been 6 months since I went on my diet kick and lost 45lbs of flab. I thought I'd post an update of what happened since.
As of the scales this morning and I've regained about 20lbs!
Thats disgusting! Where did I go wrong? Dont worry, I already know the answer.
I regained the weight because I had reached my goal.
My original plan was to lose the 45lbs (20kgs basically) because I wanted to impress a girl and by a certain date (which was when she came to town next).
Not only did I lose the weight by the date, I also got the girl. After that, I just went back to the same old eating habits and stopped exercising. That was in July and now I've regained half the weight that took me 4 months to lose. If I keep going this way, by mid-next year I'll be back to where I started.
Time for me to take action again! By April I want to be 80kgs. Back to the diet, cardio and weights. Doing is the easy bit. Starting is the hard part
Only thing is how do I change my eating habits and exercise lifestyle PERMANENTLY. This is why diets fail. Not because you dont lose weight, but because at some stage you revert back to the old fat-gaining lifestyle.
Anyways, I found posting monthly about my progress last time worked well for keeping on track, so I'll do so again. That gives me 3 months to figure out how to stop reverting.
