My driver's license (which I got about 2 years ago) says 120 lbs. I'm a 20 y/o female, 5'3", and 138 pounds at the moment. So obviously I've gained some weight, this happened nearly half a year ago over the course of a month or so, if I'm remembering correctly. My goal right now is to at least get back to 120. I don't want to be underweight, but I do want a relatively flat midsection and slim arms. My current job is physically demanding--it has me constantly speedwalking, pushing, squatting, reaching, carrying, etc. 24 hours a week, so I'm not really inclined to plan any workouts outside of it. I'm also terrible at working out (when it isn't mandatory) consistently. It's been a month since I started this job and I lost a pound or two. I basically just do "intuitive eating" right now, I pay attention to my hunger and try to have healthier alternatives if I can, though I do still indulge in sweets a few times a week. I also drink hard seltzer (2-4 cans) several nights a week. Should I attempt to completely cut out high sugar/carb foods (treats) if I want to lose the fat? Should I drink less too? I'm a little wary of calorie counting because although I don't have history of a *disorder, I have anxiety and I'm worried that meticulously monitoring the calories I take in will be harmful to my mental health, and just not worth it.
//forgot to mention, whenever I store fat, it seems to go straight to my midsection and once it's there, it won't budge
