Hello,
So just as the title says, in 2018 I was really down on myself for being bigger than I wanted to be. I worked hard, got a gym membership, really started counting calories (obsessively) and got down to my ideal body weight (175). I was muscular, energetic, and really feeling very confident in my appearance.
I maintained that weight for a couple years and then the lockdowns came and the gyms in my area closed for months and months. About that same time I got into a serious relationship with my girlfriend and since then the pounds have come screaming back. I've been sitting at about 215 pounds since last June or July (2020), and I hate to admit it but i'm feeling very stuck.
I have since resumed lifting and running. My strength is returning but I can't seem to nail my diet down to lose fat. I know WHAT I need to do, I just can't seem to summon the determination that I used to have to see my diet through. I go through 3-4 day spurts of discipline and then fizzle out and binge eat.
So my question is- for those of you that lost the weight and gained it back again and lost it a second (or third or fourth) time- How did you do it? Its like its somehow HARDER to lose it the second time around! Did you have to change your approach? Was your mindset different? etc.
