So, I’m taking a maintenance week due to finals!
As a result, I’ve a bit more these days — and I’m finding that it’s actually very, very hard to eat over maintenance. For reference, my TDEE is ~2100 cals, and I eat at ~1600 to lose at a rate of a pound a week.
At my absolute lowest, I used to eat breakfast, two servings of lunch, dinner, and occasionally get up in the middle of the night to — shamefully — binge an entire pot of pasta; the entire dry package, with a whole jar of fettuccine sauce, several chicken breasts and occasionally milk as well. Just stress eat all my problems away.
I’ve since moved out of an abusive household, started therapy, and got on the wagon for growing a healthier lifestyle. I’ve identified stress as a trigger of mine for overeating.
I typically skip breakfast these days, and opt for brunch and dinner; today, I ate three meals.
And I’m absolutely stuffed! I haven’t been this full in a while; it’s no where near how much I used to eat, but it feels similar.
And I’ve still only eaten 1600 calories today, and 1400 calories yesterday! I’m really happy with myself — I’m slowly learning to make healthier choices, and stop eating when I’ve had enough, and it’s an absolutely wonderful feeling!
