Hi everyone!
I’m completely new to this weight loss thing so I’d really appreciate advice.
I’m writing this at 1 AM as I lay in bed regretting tonight’s binge eating. Sorry if there are any errors!
I’ve (23F) lost around 18 lbs since March 6th. I have at least 100 lbs to go before I get to a healthy weight. I’ve been struggling with apathy for the past few weeks because I had an absolutely soul-crushing finals season. I haven’t gained any weight yet but I’ve been going past my daily recommended calories basically every day!
I’m in grad school and I felt really strong and motivated at the beginning, but I’ve quit every time I’ve ever tried to lose weight before now. This is the first time I’ve decided to lose weight on my own.
I’ve recently realized that I’m only getting about 20-40 g of protein a day, so I replaced my breakfast sandwich with the Isopure protein “shakes” that a friend recommended. That has about 200 calories and keeps me full until lunch! I don’t have a lot of healthy lunch options near work and I struggle to meal prep because of my adhd, so I sometimes use up more calories than I’d like at lunch.
The real issue for me is dinner. Before I started losing weight, I’d gotten into the habit of going out and getting some sort of fast food. That habit has been incredibly tough to break and I still haven’t been able to succeed without having to wrestle with myself for hours, so I often break and go out. Today, I had 900 calories left by 9 pm and I thought I’d be able to go to sleep having eaten about 1100 calories. I know that’s pretty low, but I actually wasn’t hungry. I went out and binged anyways. For absolutely no reason.
I’d really appreciate your words of wisdom right now.
