I (F/28) started with my weight loss journey on January of this year. I was 132 pounds (at 5"3) and I wanted to lose at least 10 pounds and tone up. So, I started changing my diet, doing CICO, doing intermittent fasting and, the biggest change of them all, started exercising! I went from being a total couch potato for the last 27 years to finally enjoying exercise and doing things like weight lifting, calisthenics, running, strenuous walking, hiking and so, so much yoga!
So, naturally, the pounds started melting away. I was in heaven. From January to June I lost the 10 pounds I wanted and more! My lowest weight was 117, and I was feeling super confident, fit, healthy, sexy and more beautiful than ever. I truly felt more alive.
But! Well... since late June I have been slacking. This period was hectic for me: end of term exams at college, a new (and very exciting) job as a public figure (news anchor) and, with that, a change in my routine. I tried to keep up with my habits, but I started craving more sweets and carbs and fatty things. I guess stress and the pressure of those things started taking a toll. Plus, I struggled to find time to work out and when I did, it wasn't nearly as long or as disciplined as it was.
The last couple of weeks I've been finally catching up with sleep and organizing my life work and college-wise, but the cravings persist and I can't muster the will to work out as hard as I used to, or as usually. These days all I want to do is some yoga, maybe some weights, but then I get bored or tired and change gears. I have also been going over my allotted calories by 300cals a day, give or take.
So, well, I´m back at 123 as of today :( and I'm so sad. I'm so frustrated, too... but I always feel so hungry. I'm always craving cheese or bread or candy or hot cocoa or yogurt with tonsss of sugary fruits (grapes, strawberries, bananas). I feel bloated, and I'm getting my belly back!!! It´s so infuriating!!! I worked so hard to get to where I wanted to and in less than 1 month, I've already gained 6 pounds!!!!!! In my tiny frame, it is very visible :( It might be water weight, but still, when I weighed today my confidence just plummeted L
I'm afraid that I'll lose control of myself and go back to where I was. I know that probably won't happen ´cus I won't allow myself, but I really want to be as disciplined and excited about my health as I used to be :(
Do you have any tips to get back on track? I'm so sad and disappointed at myself rn. :(
TL; DR: After 5 months of successfully losing weight (14 pounds down) I have become lazy and I'm craving unhealthy food constantly. I've already gained 6 pounds in 1 month :( and I need help getting back on track!
