Hey there! Not too long ago, I hit my goal weight of 110lbs. I'm currently trying to maintain it or at least lose another 2-4lbs as a bonus but not really intending to do so (I'm 5'3 in case you think it's underweight). And I've been kinda lenient with myself since.
What I used to do 5 months ago, I counted calories, did at least 30mins of HIIT workouts, lessened my portions, kept off soda and snacks (I only ate them like once a month) and drank plenty of water.
It started off by not counting calories anymore when I was at the weight of 115lbs, I just kept with whatever habits I developed throughout these 5 months and it worked. Then as I got closer to my goal weight, I slowly started eating small snacks once a week. Now that I'm at my goal weight, I'm becoming lazier and lazier to do my HIIT workouts.
Partially because I barely have time to do them anymore now that I have online classes which I do from 1pm to 6-7pm, I cook lunch for the family which takes up my time from 10am to 12pm. What I used to do is that once I finish cooking, I do my HIIT workouts before showering or do them after lunch (I had my appendix removed so this is no issue). I'd like to do them after 7pm but I lose all energy that I sometimes half-ass them already.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I'd scold myself at night thinking "why are you giving up now? You'll yoyo back to your old weight at this rate. Stop making excuses that you have no time and pick your ass back up." And it's scaring me so much. I haven't weighed this light in more than 5 years and I'm very happy that I finally got here. I started off at 134lbs and it was mentally and emotionally draining worrying about gaining back that weight and what I eat. I thought losing 20lbs was easy, turns out it's not. And the fact that if I go back to my old weight, I'll have to go through all of that AGAIN and I don't want those 5 months to be a waste. I'm fairly happy with my body now than I was before and I want to keep this body for a lifetime, but I don't even know where to start. I still weigh myself everyday to keep myself in check, but I'm afraid one day it's gonna balloon back to 134 without me even realizing it. Any advice to someone who's trying to maintain?
