I guess like the title says, for the first time I am really struggling to lose weight.
I’m almost 30 and my weight goes up and down a bit usually due to stress, but I’ve had a few major weight gain and loss events in my life, including pregnancy and my first time being really overweight in high school.
Ever since I lost weight the first time in high school, I usually haven’t had trouble losing weight when I wanted to. I can get on a good downward trend with some fluctuations and stick to it well. I usually count calories, walk more or work an active job, drink black coffee and tea, avoid alcohol, and try to eat healthier foods.
By now, I feel like weightloss has become a skill, and one that I’m usually successful at. Maintenance and generally eating healthy too I guess, since I’ve been stuck around my current weight since a few months after the pandemic started. (Gained a bunch immediately after losing my job Mar 15th of that year.)
I understand I went through a lot, but I don’t understand why I can’t get this pandemic weight to budge. I think I am partially having trouble sticking to every thing as religiously, like my body stresses much more easily now and it makes it harder to stick to the program. Like I try to cut my calories to a modest 1500 and I can do it for a day before I start getting stress migraines or stomachaches.
I’m also a parent to a toddler, working, in school, running my small business, and planning my wedding so it’s also one of the more stressful times of my life. But in the past, being busy has helped with weightloss! I’m usually busy and will do OMAD or a light breakfast with my 1000 calories dinner. I’m trying, but I don’t understand why my resolve is so broken this time around and why my body seems so affected with all these changes. Also not sleeping much these days, 3 year old.
Is anyone else stuck too?
