TLDR I’m so hungry right now which makes me feel so weak and stupid because I’ve literally been eating 2000 calories so I shouldn’t be hungry.
I’m F 5’6 and 179 pounds. Before the summer I was 175, one pound away from my pre Covid weight. And for reasons I don’t feel like explaining, I gained four pounds this summer and developed horrible eating habits.
I’m pretty sure I’m in a deficit at 2000 although I know many will disagree. Even if I’m not in a deficit, I think it’s important to get back in the habit of eating consistently every day instead of fluctuating from 2100-2500. So I’m sticking with the 2000 for another week and then I’ll adjust from there if there’s no change on the scale.
I feel like I’m spending my calories wisely. I usually have a bagel thin, eggs, and half avocado for breakfast. A large lunch (~900 cal) of a meat + pasta/carb and veg. And then a small dinner of either cereal or a hot dog or small sandwich.
I’m so mad at myself and the world (even though it’s not the worlds fault). I don’t want to feel hungry all the time. I decided not to go to the gym today bc I’ve been so hungry. But I love the gym. I’ve gotten back into weightlifting and I love it. And I’m stir crazy from being inside all day and my solution is usually the gym, but I know it’ll just make me more hungry so I can’t go.
I feel so stupid for being hungry when I’m eating so much food. And it’s even more frustrating bc I might not even be in a deficit. I used to eat 2000 calories and feel fine but coming off of this summer, I just feel so hungry at 2000 calories.
This is mainly a vent but as I’m typing this, if anyone knows how long it takes for bodies to readjust to certain levels of food intake, that would be great. I need a little hope.
