So I (18F, 5’4” CW: 142, GW: 120) am super irritated with myself. I was a varsity swimmer in high school, so I could eat whatever I wanted and maintain around 125. After freshman year of college, I was still eating like a swimmer, and I put on 10-15 pounds. Ever since quarantine started I’ve been desperately trying to get it off, running 3-5 miles, biking, or swimming almost daily, and doing IF & OMAD.
Problem is, I keep falling off the wagon. It’ll be someone’s birthday, I’ll get shin splints, or (since I’m home bc of COVID) my mom will buy a ton of unhealthy food from Costco. I am a huge stress eater and bored eater, so the combination of frustration over lack of results, being stuck at home, and fasting & hunger make the days I fall off brutal.
I knew my clothes were getting tight, but I didn’t realize the extent to which my body has changed (huge baggy t-shirts hide a lot). Today I tried on some dresses in a boutique, because rush week is in August and I needed a new dress, and I was appalled by what I saw in the fitting room mirror. I’m a large for the first time in my life. And, for a short girl, I definitely look it.
I’m so frustrated with myself that I can’t stay consistent long enough to see results, and a previous 4 months of time to lose weight has dwindled down into 6 weeks before I move back to school.
I’m determined to lose at least a LITTLE weight by the time I get back to school, however, and I wanted to ask if anyone is/has been in a similar situation? I would greatly appreciate any advice on staying motivated and being accountable.
