Yasmine's Refeed diary

[Yasmine]

You do need to look at body composition rather above what the scales say. Your scale weight is important to a certain extent, but your composition is more important.

You are looking to maintain your fat loss, not your lean loss.

Sorry kinda confusing, what's lean weight exactly? has that got something to do with muscle?

 

[summergurl]

Why is it important not to use the word treats?

 

[kered]

Because you teach your brain to use the word treat as something that you really shouldn't have. We are allowed anything in moderation (after refeed) so if its part of your daily calories and all counted for, its not a treat, its your daily calorie allowance. If you use the word treat, you can feel guilty about having something and if its counted then its NOT something that you shouldnt be having.

 

[summergurl]

Oooooh got ya!

 

[Yasmine]

Good way to put it.

Strange thing, I dunno if this is a good thing or a strange thing or both. Because the scales said I gained 1lb right? well I measured myself today out of paranoia (yes I deserve a slap) and it turns out that I actually lost half an inch more on my waist and half an inch on my upper arm.

This is kinda good news for me because now I guess I didn't gain fat, I am hoping that's it's just water or hormones.

Oh and btw, when did any of your periods return? mine still haven't come back yet

 

[summergurl]

Yas - you can have my period - gladly! hahaha i cant wait or mine to stop!

has anyones stopped and got back to normal on refeed?

Good explanation there

Getting a good relationship with food makes the difference between someone who truly maintains their weight, and someone who yoyos on/off diet forever.

Yoyo gets incredibly boring over the years and really messes with the head. Then of course, you can't stay vigilant forever, so the whole lot goes out of the window and the weight piles back on.

Words seem like just words, but they are incredibly powerful.

It's pretty hard to do too much mindset stuff when you are refeeding, and into the beginning of maintenance as you have to limit to a certain extent.

Once you are free, all things are available, and if you can treat that freedom with respect and common sense, you get an amazing lightbulb moment that stays lit forever.
