Hello! Long time listener, first time caller :)
I had been 170 lbs most of my adolescence and young adulthood. Finally in 2016 I snapped back into action and got really strict with my eating, eating 1000-1200 calories per day. Did not really work out except walking everywhere, 3-5 miles per day. In 6 months I had lost 35 lbs, getting down to 135 lbs.
Enrolled in grad school in 2018 at around 140 lbs after an indulgent 2 month backpacking getaway to Asia. With the stress of classes and irregular schedules, I find myself at 151 lbs.
The concerning part for me is that 5 of the new 10 lbs has been in the past ~2 months. I'm sure the COVID lockdown is not doing much to help, but given the fact that I am now in complete control of my schedule, have adopted a concrete running routine, and have an at home stationary bike, I believe I should be able to get to my ultimate goal weight of 125 lbs.
Going to use this thread to stay on top of my daily/weekly progress, but some of my key goals:
- Stop mindlessly snacking - I find that when I go through notes and study, I get ravenous. I will instead make coffee or tea, hopefully.
- Stop eating after 6 pm - I get really tired in the evening (no surprise - it's time to sleep!) but for some reason that drives me to eat. If I am feeling sleepy at 8, I should just go to sleep, not eat an entire bag of popcorn.
- Do not weigh yourself every day - I use multiple daily weigh-ins to both justify binging if my weight is lower than I expected or to justify quitting if my weight is high, like what's the point? Right now, I plan on weighing myself every 10 days.
Would appreciate any advice, and hoping this time will stick!
