26f, 5'9, 230lb
It's been one month today since I decided to finally put in the mental work of trying to be healthier in every way possible.
My main concern is that with COVID, I lost my job. A lot of old depression habits crept in. I spend a lot of my days immobile in my bed. The first week that I decided to do CICO, I lost 10lbs. Since then, I lost 2 or 3 more, then gained 5, and now I've been stuck there for 2.5 weeks.
I know it doesn't sound like long. I'm just really worried that I'm eating pretty little (I've averaged 1322. Sometimes 800, sometimes 2000 depending on cravings and my self control) and in fact gaining weight. I'm worried I'm throwing my metabolism crazy by both being pretty attached to my bed but also not eating much and trying to still lose weight.
I'm working every day to try to be better. I'm definitely getting out of the house tomorrow for an appointment, so that's always a big hurdle! I hope to do more tomorrow.
Has my TDEE dipped because of the sudden change in diet/activity? Obviously working out is best, but do I need to to lose weight? I've been pretty sedentary for months, but this past month and a half have been extra depressive-episode-y.
I also have a lot of body/back pain and inflammation that I'm hoping to decrease as I lose weight in order to make it easier to go to the gym without further injuries.
