I live at home with my parents and at sub 5ft I have an incredibly low cutting TDEE (913c roughly), I restarted on CICO this week and felt a bit sickly but manageable then binged yesterday when I came home from work a bit tired and I dont know really. I ended up eating some obscene amount and undoing that entire week I don't think I would have binged if there was some way of getting that food out of the house or i my parents didn't make the stuff they do. Nothing they make is particularly 900 calorie diet friendly. My parents have never been cooperative or wanting to change their ways and I have never succeeded over the years trying to convince them as well as both my siblings being set in their ways. I have my own food and snacks and cooking and generally can maintain not eating the food they cook or bring into home but I crack occasionally and it just leads to a big mess like that. I guess this is a vent post more than anything because I don't really know what can be done. I can do all my cooking, I can't move out for a few years realistically but the hit to my willpower after I constantly spend week after week resisting eating the food in our house I They wouldnt like anything I cook either and it wouldnt prevent all the junk food in our home or from snacking. I even use an online service that I pay if I break my promise to not eat my parents food to stop me but it hasnt been enough lately. Every Saturday after work has ended the same as well as whenever my mum bakes sweets. I think even when I succeeed it feels a bit miserable, I like the foods I buy for myself, I like veges and fruits but I cant deny the temptations of "offlimits" foods. I know that there are things like intuitive eating but I def couldnt pull that off and still loose weight.
I spose I could do daily long cardio to compensate? (currently 3 bw strength workouts/w and short walks to get to 5k+ steps a day) I kinda of despise the idea though, wasting time everyday I could spend on practicing the things i like and time that I could have saved if I just ate less and or had a healthier family.
I think some people may point out that 900 is too low but my maintaince calories are 1400 and I dont think any of my physical activity is intense or long enough to count me above sedentary. I guess that's a little impatient and I'll fully admit it is because I feel like once im down to a lower weight I'll be a lot happier with my appearance and I can let myself buy clothes and the like that I've been thinking about for ages as well as potentially better performance for rockclimbing when that opens up.
I'm so much closer now (could be at 47 in december if I can maintain -500 calories) and I just want to be done with this stuff, it's been on my mind for 7 years. I know as well of course that it's not like I can go eat mcdonalds every day once I do (not that i would want to) but just to be able to truly and properly relax about things and to feel fine about things. Maybe you could suggest that I do a slower cut but I don't feel like that would be relaxing really. This turned super rambly but I guess I would appreciate any advice you may have?
