Hi guys!
I’m stuck at home from college because of COVID-19 and I’ve found it extremely difficult to eat well. Today, for instance, I’ve eaten 4,900 calories (batch of cookies, yogurt and granola, ice cream, peanut butter, Spanish omelette, chocolate, etc). There seems to be nothing to do but cook and eat and nothing to look forward to. At school, I successfully eat 1,500-2,500 kcal/day but that is helped by limited hours for dining halls.
Here, with unlimited delicious food around and nothing to do, I’ve struggled. The difficulty is not nutritious, low calorie food available. I have much of that and my family prioritizes health. To me, it seems habitual and I make promises most mornings to eat differently but just can’t resist. It’s a cycle of snacking, then meals, then making food for fun. My mom cooks delicious, healthy food (loves ottolenghi and Jerusalem cookbooks) which are hard to resist, as well as the social aspect of meals, even if I’ve gone a wild amount over my daily calories. I often drink tea but it does not effectively distract. I can tell my guilty energy In the kitchen, our social gathering point, stresses out my family too.
How do I continue losing weight during this strange, strange period? I’m sure others are struggling too.
Any advice gladly appreciated.
