Hi everyone.
This is going to be a bit of a strange one! I lost almost 25kg in between March 2020 and September 2021, taking me from being overweight to a little underweight.
I counted every single calorie on MyFitnessPal and would weigh my foods, and often went by on about 800 calories a day. Looking back, it was an unhealthy obsession that drove my mental breakdown, and wrecked me physically as I started to get aches and sick frequently.
Anyway, since then I’ve let go of the obsession with calorie counting and have generally just been more lax about my body, and I’ve regained probably about half of that weight I lost (I avoid weighing myself as I know I will spiral). While I feel better, I’d like to be slender again, just to up my confidence. Does anyone know how I get to this without going down the dark path of calorie counting again?
I currently work out every other day (mix of strength training and cardio) and get 10,000 steps in on the days I’m not working out, but on the eating side I sort of just eat what I feel is reasonable - but it can be an unhealthy mix of chocolates and greasy food, especially around the holiday season. I was thinking of cutting back on sugar and going back on the kinds of food I ate (low carb, high protein) when I originally lost weight, but in slightly bigger portions, but without having something tracking it will be difficult I guess
Anyone have any ideas?
Td;lr: lost 25kg through obsessive calorie counting, had mental breakdown, regained some of that weight, want to lose it again without calorie counting
Thanks!
