I (19F) have always had problems with binge eating. My parents are both obese and never taught me good food skills, nor how to exercise.
Recently I moved in with my fiance, and over the span of 6 months, have lost around 40 pounds (18kg). Due to us living frugally, I lost a lot of the stubborn weight. My current weight is 175 pounds (79kg), with a BMI of 29.1.
Currently I am a vegetarian, as per the wishes of my fiance. I get most of my proteins from milk, eggs, cheese, etc. I try my best to cook, but sometimes I end up going out for Indian, Korean, or something with an accessible vegetarian menu.
Where I am most at fault? I work at a movie theater. I do receive free food and beverages, and for someone who is still living paycheck to paycheck, I will never turn down a free meal. Mostly I eat unsalted, unbuttered popcorn when I feel myself getting hungry. My beverage is normally Peace Tea or Powerade. I enjoy drinking water, but can never go for more than a glass or two due to it making me feel sick and sloshy. I am more of a snacks all day type of person, not a big meal eater. I do not have access to gym in my area, as it is a college town with high Covid-19 cases. At home I have a workout bench to help!
Any tips for keeping down my calories, and small exercises I can get into at home? Any ideas on how to cut back (mentally and physically)? Along with tips on how to drink more water?
