So a little background:
- Lost about 140 pounds over the past year from 310-165ish.
- Have done IF as a guide, and started to enjoy it so have stuck to it
-Have upped my exercise a lot. Currently do 2-2.5 hours of cardio (mixing between jogs and stationary bike) and then do 40 mins of strength and stretching. I have really noticed gains in muscle that feel good as well.
-Since started to get out more post-covid I have more days where I for sure overeat, a lot and I gain a lot of weight quickly. For example, 8 pounds over night ( I realize this is water weight, but still frustrating)
- Was on hydrocholdorize for blood pressure, but was approved to go off it; however, given these weight fluctuations I have stayed it on at a lower dose.
- Over the last 4 months I have been where I should be happy to be weight wise but I have large weight fluctuations on days on indulge now that really get me down.
I have tried to reduce the amount of days I weigh in, because the scale can really have a negative affect on me. For example, I am have been super down the last two days because of this recent weight gain. In my head, I know it is just water, but it is so defeating. I biked for 2+ hours 5 days last week (to the point I am wringing out my clothes from sweat). And while I am fully aware my two days overeating would result in some gain ( this was how I used to eat 3-4 days a week to get to 300 pounds) but I went up 10 pounds in two days, and then I have to slowly let it come back down. I then feel like if I don't do hours of working out every day I gain weight immediatly, and I get in this headspace of as I might as go back to eating how I used too because at least I was happy. I should be so much happier to be at this weight and point becuase I truly am at a point I always wanted to be, but I've been finding this roller coaster so frustrating. I am not sure if I need advice or just type out my thoughts for someone to read, but it has been a rough two days lately so appreciate people listening.
