For most of my life (I’m 21F soon to be 22) I never had to think twice about what I ate. I ate snacks whenever I pleased, never felt guilty about ordering dessert and never turned down a night out with friends. At 5’2 I comfortably sat at 115-120lbs for my late teen/early young adult years (~16-20). It seems just in the last year or so my metabolism has quit on me. I think it’s probably because I’ve moved home from college and subsequently I take way fewer steps a day. I guess walking around campus was doing more than I realized. I don’t think its alcohol since I drank more during college than I do now, so I think it’s gotta be mostly activity level.
I’m now 136lbs and I hate it. I want to look better and be back to a healthy weight (ideally 120-125lbs, more muscle and lower body fat percentage). But damn I hate having to think so hard about what I’m eating. I hate having to cut things I love and limit my calories throughout the day. I’m trying to stay at or below 1200 calories, and I’m working out more (hot power vinyasa yoga at least 2x a week and bouldering once a week) but I’m so bad at sticking with it. I generally do really well for like 2 weeks and then fall off the wagon for a week. I do that on again off again cycle over and over and I hate it!!
Sorry this has basically just been a nonsense rant. I guess I’m looking for advice on how to stick with a plan and not cycle so much. Any advice is welcome, please :(
