Hi peeps, look at my flair. Now look back to me. I lost these 25 lbs in early 2016 and gained most of it back in the last couple of months. Idk. As I was losing the weight back then it was actually quite easy. I just kept my calories at about 1200-1500 and steadily lost. However, I was very unhappy in life at that time and sat around at home a lot - and strangely enough I think that helped.
I've now been much happier since about 4 months and it shows - namely, I am pretty constantly overeating again. A big problem is social events. My social life has picked up a lot which is great, but so many parties/ get togethers include tons of snacks and alcohol has also been a problem. It's not like I get wasted constantly but 1-2 beers can already push me into going over my calorie limit.
And also when I'm alone, I have been 'treating myself' way too much. On some days I eat 1400 calories and I'm fine but the next day I eat about 3000. This way I'm currently maintaining but not managing to lose. When I lost the weight I was dealing with depression and anxiety, which kept me tense and unhappy all the time and suppressed my appetite. Now that I feel mostly chill again, I am hungrier and have an appetite for things like chocolate, pizza etc again.
I've planned several times to just.. cut calories.. again but I've been finding it much harder recently. For example if I only eat a salad in the evening I feel like I didn't get something 'nice' and like something is missing, unless I have some kind of dessert or something alcoholic. And I mean, I genuinely like salad! But somehow it makes me feel like the entire day could have been better.
I know it ultimately boils down to 'willpower' and 'just don't eat the thing' and that is completely correct. But maybe somebody has tips.
