Trying on clothes at a public fitting room earlier this week made me digusted at the pot bellied woman in front of the mirror. I felt horrible for letting myself go so out of shape again since stopped performin my gym’s at home HIIT workouts when the holidays came in. I cannot believe all that hard work can go down so quickly (like in a span of 6-7 months to today). And I definitely indulged in a more food (carbs, zero alcohol) with the reduced exercise activities. The me last April 2020 definitely does not recognize this body.
To confirm that the body is mine, I scheduled a DXA scan this evening and got super alarming results. My body fat as of today is at 39.8%, which is really bad. Before the pandemic started, I was at 25% body fat. This result is literally a huge wake up call and one that needs me to get really hands on asap. I shudder at the thought as how much worse it would have been if I hadn’t gone back to the gym in the past three weeks!
I definitely do not like what I see right now. And I know there is a solution that would require so much more discipline. But I am having a hard time feeling motivated to work on myself especially since my hard work of 2+ years can easily go down the drain when I dopped working out for almost half a year. I am rather disappointed that I gained more weight back too quickly than enjoying the body I had when I lost the weight. :(
What did I do wrong? I tried counting calories again, and I cannot seem to curb the hunger with me going back to exercise.
Any input on how to avoid the continued weight gain and reduce body fat faster would be appreciated.
Thanks!
