So, I used to be overweight bordering on obesity, but since then I've lost around 35 pounds. Currently, I'm 18 and around 110ish pounds at 5'2. My goal is to get to either 105 pounds or reach my ideal body shape which includes some form of toned stomach and etc. I'm not sure how much I eat per day but when I'm 80% full I stop eating at every meal and I eat clean around 75% of the time (25% take-out). I work out everyday too. I was losing weight pretty reliably and even got to 108 pounds for a short stretch but then...I got a knee injury like the ligaments around my knee just became super sore because I'd been running on the treadmill at 12.0 incline for 2 years and it was finally showing signs of wear and tear on me. Now, I'm really struggling. I used to be able to burn ~400 calories on my treadmill and now, since I have to walk, I can only burn around ~200 until it's been 50 full minutes and I'm really bored.
I don't know what to do and I'm scared my diet will lead to me gaining weight. This state has been giving me so much anxiety and making me so sad that I feel like I'm so out of control of my situation. I feel guilty eating because I won't be able to burn it off and I'll just feel more and more bloated each day. I just want any advice I suppose.
How to best get over my knee injury, how to run properly on treadmill so I can get back to burning the same amount of calories, any alternate exercises that would help, and any problems you can extrapolate from reading my story would be really helpful.
Thank you so much I really need help right now I've been struggling a lot over this mentally
