The last time I lost a significant amount of weight (65lbs in 6 months), it took A LOT of self-discipline. I really don't want to go through that again. While I did end up gaining 20lbs back slowly over the years since then (5 years), I was okay with it, but since all this stay-at-home stuff started last year, I am now back to that weight which is 210lbs at a height of 5'65.
I have known for awhile I need to lose weight, but the photo today really hit it home. Lol. The problem is, the gyms are still closed where I live, I can't drink caffiene anymore due to having high BP & anxiety (and caffiene was a huge help for me losing weight), and it is just hard to be motivated when I am working at home so my bed and food is just an arm's reach away.
I have an exercise bike at home and I already do HIIT 30mins per day on it. As well, I use dumbbells 2x a week, AND I walk at least 2 hours everyday. But my weight has just gone up anyway. It is not as much as I would do at the gym, but it is a decent amount of exercise. I miss the treadmills, but can't have one at home and I have too much social anxiety to jog outside. My partner says he will go with me, but when I would be ready to go, he is in an online game with friends and I feel too guilty to pull him away.
I guess it must come down to food. I eat between 1500-2000 calories per day. Once or twice a week, I eat less than that. It was way less than that before I moved in with my partner last year, but I have been eating more since I have been here. I only drink water and black decaf black tea. I do not know how to stay away from the food. I have been a compulsive overeater since I can remember. I don't buy easy snacks anymore, so I have to cook to eat, but usually when I eat, I overeat.
TL;DR: Does anyone have any tips on avoiding cravings or overeating? I have a meal plan in mind to lose weight, but sticking to it of course is the issue. As well, does anyone else have a fear of running outside? I know most people don't care or notice you, but still. I only ever see fit people out running. I am embarrassed.
