Letting emotions and stress getting in the way of my goals
Hi FB Family,
puhh so yesterday was a super bad day for me. It just kept getting worse and worse adding up to feeling dizzy all day and eating a lot in the evening and drinking wine. Disclaimer: I did not get drunk and IĀ“m also not an alcoholic!
But I do have days like this a lot (about twice a week) at the moment. Work and life in China are really stressing me out and even though I talk to family and friends as much as possible (little difficult because of the timezones) they canĀ“t really help me with the nutrition part. IĀ“m also putting pressure on myself for losing weight before my trip to Australia because I just want to feel good in a bikini which I know I donĀ“t at the moment.
The workouts are really going well and IĀ“m proud I made it nearly through the whole program and getting stronger and maybe a little more toned but the fat just sticks to me like super glue. I know that stress can hinder fat loss, IĀ“ve experienced it myself because everytime IĀ“m doing an all inclusive holiday where probably the majority of people would gain weight, I lose it. ThatĀ“s probably due to being super relaxed and not even thinking about food unless IĀ“m actually hungry.
At the moment IĀ“m tracking calories and try to make as many meals myself as possible which is really not easy while living in a hotel with no fully equipt kitchen and limited ingredients. So as long as I stick to that IĀ“m actually quite good with my intake (~1300) but when a day like yesterday comes around IĀ“m kinda destroying it all and by the end of the week my average is about 1700 calories which is just a little below my maintenance calories. So IĀ“m not really losing much fat. Most people will say slower is better anyway but at this rate I will hit a healthy weight probably in three years ^^
I just really donĀ“t know what to do anymore... Hopefully my progress pics due on Saturday will cheer me up a little bit but I doubt it.

Does anyone face this issues as well?
Sorry for the long ramble!
