(TW? Small mention of ED)
After some time not making any effort I decided to try again, as my city went into lockdown again and I was eating anything and everything in the pantry. Lockdown has been a blessing in disguise as I can't go in to work so I have to eat all my meals at home, meaning everything is very easy to weigh and track.
I started off for the first couple of days eating as I would normally to see where I was at (not great - 1600-2000 cal which is at/above maintenance for me) so I got back into it. I had some days in the first couple of weeks where I was eating about 1600 calories, I thought it wasn't too bad because I was still under my maintenance right? Not really; my memory betrayed me and maintenance is actually less than I thought so that was a bit eye opening lol. But since then I've been pretty good at sticking to my ~1300, with the exception of one day where I drunk too many cocktails at home for one of my housemates birthdays.
I know some people don't like to weigh every day and that's completely understandable, I do enjoy getting the daily numbers and seeing how they turn into a nice line on a graph.
Some days I definitely eat too many cookies so that takes its toll on the calories but I like to think I'm learning how to balance how much actual food I need and how many sweet treats I can fit around that. I'm definitely not a person who can cut treats out entirely - I think I've found that it's best to have some in the house and have a little each day otherwise I end up binging.
Thanks for reading my ramblings, just wanted to share as I'm quite proud of myself, today I hit under 68kg which I haven't been since I was about 15. Good luck to you all on your journeys.
