How I've been trying to lose weight while being stuck at home

I've been making sure to exercise every day, usually doing a combination of hiit workouts and ab exercises.

A rule I've made for myself (It may not be applicable to everyone and you need to be careful not to get into an unhealthy mindset) is to not est more than one unhealthy thing a day. So if I eat chips, I'll have to wait until the next day if I want a different unhealthy food such as chocolate. This helps me to choose wisely and to avoid overeating.

I've also made sure to stick to a 17:7 intermittent fasting schedule and to have generally 2 large meals and a snack in between. I'd wake up at around 11, have my first meal at 12, eat something in between, and eat dinner at around 6. Then, my eating window would end at 7.

A great motivator for exercising that I found today was to do challenges with friends. I video called a friend today and we did things like planks and push-ups and wall sits and competed to see who could do the most or last longer.

I also found that when I was on voice call I was less likely to eat because I wouldn't want my friends to hear me eating lol. We'd also play games together so my hands would be kept busy and I liked staying upstairs so that it would be quiet so that kept me away from the kitchen as well.
