I do not exactly know my highest weight. But, it should be around 68 kgs(1644 TDEE at sedentary) and my current weight is 55 kg (1488 TDEE at sedentary). The difference between the two is around 150 kcal a day.
I was right in that I was not eating so much to gain weight. Just 150 kcal extra a day and that led to more than 10 kg of weight. This is so shocking for me.
This realisation makes me see several points:
1) My diet does not have to be radically different from my previous one, just a bit careful like skip that midnight snack or the extra beer.
2) Being a short woman, this reminds me that sedentary lifestyle is not an option for me at all. I need to atleast get some walking or short workout most days so that I can eat well and balance the days where I slip up. Being sedentary can really pile up weight at my height unless I eat miserably. I was not doing any physical activity during my highest weight (quarantine time).
3) It also reminds me how easily I can pack up weight. Since the change in TDEE is so small (even less than an icecream cone), I have to be vigilant throughout.
This makes me realise the ease and difficulty of maintaining my current weight and the precarious balance between my previous and current lifestyle. A 150 cal slip up (exercise or diet), I can easily go to the other side.
