Hello, friends, I used to post on here on another account.
I'm 5'2 and weighed ~164 December 2018. In a few months I got down to 136 then floated around the 140s for the rest of 2019.
2020 + depression happened and I ate my emotions almost compulsively.
I'm ~180 now. And my eating is worse than when I started 🙃.
The thing is, I feel like the way I lost weight was not that healthy. My main focus was to lose weight as fast as possible because I thought I looked ugly while I was fat. I know plenty of people have success with IF and calorie counting but I just feel like, for myself, it's not the best method.
(For example, when I finally weighed myself again recently, I decided to start calorie counting again and ended up eating <400 calories a day for a week because I got into that kinda bad mindset.)
Also, I feel like, if I lose weight with calorie counting, I'm going to have to keep calorie counting to keep the weight off which is something I definitely don't like the prospect of. And also, I'll just end up using the bulk of my allocated calories for junk food when the focus of this is supposed to be health.
I was thinking I could go on a junk food abstinence journey to break the cravings because I hear that works for some people? Idk I just want to adopt eating habits that lead me to a natural calorie deficit and maybe weigh myself every month or so to see if my diet needs tweaking.
Idk, I just kinda wanna hear everyone's thoughts, anything that's worked for you, issues the quarantine has caused for you, and anything you feel is worth sharing.
