I don't get bored of food so this is pretty much what I'm eat every weekday atm, occasionally changing things up but similar macros. I meal prep 3 days at a time so that I never have to prepare anything when hungry which has really helped me stick to my calorie allowance.
I do let myself have more than 1200kcal on weekends but I don't binge anymore which is a huge deal for me. I think I would have given up or ended up in a binge/fast cycle if I didn't let myself enjoy food and alcohol socially on weekends, so I'd rather lose slowly but consistently and in a mentally healthy way.
I had my first baby on 23rd November (exactly 20 weeks ago) and have lost exactly 20kg so far! This has taken me from a category 3 (morbidly) obese BMI of 40.2, to a category 1 obese BMI of 33.2. I have 9.2kg to go until I'm no longer obese and 23.3kg to go until I'm at a healthy weight, but planning my second (and final) pregnancy later this year, so healthy weight is a post baby-growing goal. I definitely don't want to be obese for my next pregnancy as it made my last pregnancy very difficult – mobility was HARD and my confidence was super low.
I really appreciate all the amazing things I have learnt from you all on this sub so thank you!
