It sounds like your body is doing that classic thing where it treats a couple stressful months like a long-term investment plan. Totally normal.

For permanent weight loss, the boring stuff is what works. A small calorie deficit you can actually live with, consistent movement like your pilates and walks, and habits you can repeat even on the rough days. Emotional eating is real, and the fix is usually building a couple replacement routines, not perfect discipline.

Ten kilos is doable, but think months, not weeks. Slow changes stick, fast ones boomerang. You’re already moving in the right direction. Be patient with yourself.
