I weighed myself and cried. I’ve been doing everything “right” for a full month and the scale won’t budge by a single .1 kg
First off, please be kind because I have poor self esteem lately…
I’ve been trying not to weigh myself too frequently because I know it’s harmful to monitor it that closely, however. I did today and I am exactly what I was before… despite eating 1200 calories a day, every day for a month. Cutting out all unhealthy food and everything I enjoy. Exercising 180 minutes a week of high intensity cardio, a weightlift class, plus swimming plus personal trainer twice a week for upper and lower body weight machines. Abs/ core sculpt classes. 1 Yoga class. I do literally everything I can for hours almost every day. I’ve dedicated so so so much effort into this and I feel as if I’ve failed.
YES I know it’s only been a month and I shouldn’t expect miracles - but not a single shift in 0.1 kg is really messing with me.
YES I also know that muscle gain can increase weight. But according to the biometric impedance scale (yeah I know they’re not super accurate), I haven’t gained too much more muscle anywhere. There is a small increase.
I am literally asking restaurants their meals’ calories to the point where they think I’m annoying (I go to health food restaurants and Japanese food not really unhealthy carb meals). I am counting every calorie. Maybe I’m not getting it 100% but it should be relatively accurate.
Why am I seeing no progress? I feel so defeated. Unlike most people who say they enjoy the gym, I hate it. I look at the clock every single minute waiting for it to be over. I hate everything. I was doing it to see results and the results haven’t changed. All I have is sore knees. I am trying but my family keep calling me fat.
I’ve been told it’s unhealthy to dip below 1200 calories so I can’t really change or increase my exercise because I’m already pushing myself to my limit.
I feel so bad and as if I’m doing something wrong - please advise me. I know I shouldn’t care so much but I have bad depression and people commenting on my weight is hurting. I’ve said please stop and then they talk behind my back and I overhear it. I’m not even considered obese. I’m just chubby and short.
Edit for metrics: 154 cm (5’0) and 55.5kg (122 lbs) but I have very light bones because I have osteoporosis.
