I’m sure most of you have seen threads that sound something like “I have a very hard time getting peeled, I just cannot lose weight to save my life no matter how many drugs I use”. In situations like this, the overwhelmingly-collective consensus which is(most often) reached, is that the OP lacks general discipline.
I have a similar dieting dilemma, but it doesn’t manifest as a result of lack of discipline. I would instead call it a gigantic surplus of neuroticism, with a moderate lack of patience, which I’m sure you could argue semantically is just another form of discipline. I digress...
See, my problem is that when dieting, I trick myself into believing that I’m literally wasting muscle every time I breath(figuratively). Which results in me re-feeding every couple of days..out of..fear..I suppose? I don’t want to lose what I’ve worked so fucking hard to achieve. This, I would assume a lot can relate to.
Even in a moderate deficit, every time that I look in the mirror, I get an instantaneous and massive dose of fucking cortisol from thinking that I’ve lost inches on my chest and quads(Which couldn’t be further from reality). I fucking digress again...
I’m sitting around 15% BF at the moment…I’d like to get to 10% BF before I start my second cycle(I have roughly 3.5 months).
To me...there’s really no worse feeling in life than trying to attain a goal and falling short of said goal over and over and over, as I have done with dieting many times. I've just about given up.
That being said, if you guys have any pointers for me, I would be appreciative.
Was it difficult for you the first few times you tried dieting down?
Were there any mental hurdles?
Did you ever lose a lot of mass?
What do you use as a standard rule of thumb as indication that it may be time for a refeed...when you feel like dog shit?...when the scale stops going down?...when your workouts turn to shit?
