The scale drops. Clothes fit better. You feel in control. But after the early wins, the real challenge begins, and staying consistent when real life kicks in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This month was about routine\u2026 At least, I had hoped it was about routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sticking-To-A-Regular-Routine\"><\/span><b>Sticking To A Regular Routine<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I didn\u2019t aim for perfection. I aimed for a familiar structure. On weekdays, I bought lunch around five days a week, averaging around RM25 per meal. That works out to roughly RM125 a week, or about RM500 a month, just on weekday lunches alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dinner was where I tried to be more disciplined. After all, we don\u2019t move around as much at night. I cooked at home about three days a week. On weekends, I usually cooked my own lunch, but dinner was often with the family, which meant eating out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the entire month, groceries for my home-cooked meals cost around RM160 to RM200. To no one\u2019s surprise, cooking wasn\u2019t just healthier, it was significantly cheaper than eating out regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wasn\u2019t weighing every gram of food or following a strict meal plan. I simply tried to repeat habits I could realistically sustain long term. Some days were cleaner than others, but consistency mattered more to me than perfection at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that quietly helped me manage sweet cravings was Pepsi or Coke Zero. When the urge for dessert hit, especially at night, a cold zero-sugar soda took the edge off without adding calories. Is it the healthiest habit? Probably not. But in the bigger picture, it helped me avoid chocolates and late-night snacking more often than not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Routine helps me to reduce decision fatigue. When you already know what you\u2019re doing most days, it\u2019s easier to stay on track.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Then-Chinese-New-Year-Happened\"><\/span><b>Then Chinese New Year Happened<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Man\u2026did CNY hit me like a wrecking ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Festive seasons revolve around food, reunion dinners, open houses, endless snack trays, and relatives who insist you take second helpings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, my half-sister returned from Australia to pay us a visit, and with her came generous portions of chocolates and sweets. The kind you don\u2019t usually buy that often in Malaysia due to exorbitant import mark-ups. The kind that makes you feel like you should at least try some.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not excessively. But enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A chocolate here. A cookie there. A few festive meals that were heavier than usual. It\u2019s never one big blowout,\u00a0 it\u2019s the small, repeated indulgences that quietly add up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the end of the month, the scale reflected it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Scale-Went-Up\"><\/span><b>The Scale Went Up<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started the month at 110kg, close to going down to 109kg. I ended up at 111kg. A one-kilogram increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, that would have felt like failure. I would have seen it as proof that I couldn\u2019t sustain my progress. That all the effort wasn\u2019t working. Another new year\u2019s resolution failed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this time, I saw it differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was Chinese New Year. It was social. It was seasonal. And realistically, it could have been much worse. A 1kg gain isn\u2019t a total failure. It\u2019s data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More importantly, I didn\u2019t spiral. I didn\u2019t decide to \u201crestart next month.\u201d I didn\u2019t binge because I had already messed up. This mindset shift, is progress in itself, I think.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moving-Forward\"><\/span><b>Moving Forward<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not trying to \u201ccompensate\u201d for Chinese New Year with extreme dieting. That cycle never ends well. Instead, I\u2019m going back to my routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to predictable lunches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to cooking three dinners a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to mindful portions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I can go through a festive month and only come out 1kg heavier without losing control, that\u2019s progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This journey was never about being perfect. It was about being sustainable. And sometimes sustainability looks like gaining 1kg\u2026 and choosing not to quit.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Part 2 of my 30kg weight loss journey, I focus on routine, managing cravings, and navigating Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":69701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[256],"tags":[3153,469,1432,3152,767,3243,3154,3239,3241,3242,3240],"class_list":["post-69700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-diet","tag-food","tag-health","tag-healthy","tag-lifestyle","tag-non-linear-weight-loss","tag-nutrition","tag-weight-loss-plateau","tag-weight-loss-progress-not-linear","tag-why-am-i-not-losing-weight","tag-why-is-my-weight-loss-slowing-down"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Weight Loss Plateaus: My Honest 30kg Journey, Part 2<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Progress isn&#039;t always linear.
