Hello everyone.
I am 23yo female and I am currently overweight, I weight 78 kg and I am 173cm tall.
Since around 6-7 grade I had been 60kg (+/- 2kg) even though I never exercised, and I had a very poor diet, eating potato chips for lunch, burgers 2-3 times per week, mostly living on bread and pasta when I had a proper meal.
However, in November 2019 I gained 5kg in 30 days. Until March 2020 I gained an additional 5 pounds and I was 70 kilos. I told myself that if I ever hit 70kg I would immediately start exercising and eating healthier. However, quarantine happened and I wasn't even going to work, I was mostly laying in bed and eating 3 times per day, and until the end of April I gained 10+ more kilograms, and I hit 83 kilos.
I was really unhappy about the way my body changed. I did hormonal tests and everything turned out fine. So, the problem was my diet.
I started counting calories around June, and I saw that I was eating 1500+ calories only for lunch. I still had 200grams of chips per day, sweets etc. So I decided to eat healthy and start working out.
I tried to exercise, but because I have never worked out in my life, I had no strength to even do anything longer than 2 minutes. I started dieting, eating vegetables, rice and chicken only, to try to bring my weight down a bit so I can at least start moving.
But because of the extreme diet, I was eating ~700 calories per day, and I went down 3 kilos in 2 weeks, but it was extremely unhealthy, so I stopped. I almost missed my last period, which was 1 week late and tbh it made me really scared.
Now I decided to eat healthy but if I am full after only 700 calories per day, to eat more only to bring the calories up so that I won't stress my body. I read online that stress make you gain even more weight, and also trying to run or doing any kind of cardio after long periods of inactivity is too big of a stress to the body and it just takes the body into "storing mode". I don't know if this is true. I also get strong nausea and headache when I try to work out, so I won't try to in the near future.
I am planning to start walking on the treadmill for at least 2 hours a day and eating around 1400 calories. Is this a good place to start? Could anyone give me any successful tips to make weight loss easier and healthier for me, which doesn't contain the ordinary cardio+low calories? I read too many different things online, that I don't know what to do anymore.
I need to lose at least 5 kg to be in the healthy weight range, and I would like to lose around 15 overall to get back to my previous shape. Not because of looking good, but to be healthy and to at least get my strength to at least be able to walk/jog/climb the stairs without my head spinning and urge to vomit.
Sorry for the long post, I thought this would be shorter. :) And thank you for reading this far!
