So I figured out I am incredibly influenced by what is around me, and so while spending the summer in the country I wanted to live like I did when I was previously living in the country and at my slimmest.
I haven't checked the scale but I can already see the weight loss. The bloating is minimal even with my period.
I'm not eating out of boredom all day (don't ask about around 8pm but still haha). I don't feel lethargic. I'm bored, as there's fuck all to do out here, and taking many walks (/unwilling jogs becuase of the fucking deerflies). If I miss a meal I simply miss a meal, I don't actually feel like dying if I notice I skipped breakfast/lunch.
I think a big part of this is not being surrounded by people/things that stress me out, either. My last meth-addicted, aggressive roommate lived off constant McDonald's and ate all my food so I felt such a weird pressure to consume everything I bought (even sodas as treats) that I became used to eating in excess. I exercised more than I ever did to keep the weight down, sure, but I still went up 30lbs since it's pretty hard to fight off constant fast food as your main diet.
Also, without the takeout options (beyond pizza), my appetite has gotten smaller and my tastes have significantly changed. I do not want a cheeseburger anymore, I want the chicken burger. I don't want fries, I genuinely want a greek salad. I want the vegetarian pizza. I need more leafy vegetables in this sandwich. Etc. It's so nice not feeling like I'm giving something up anymore and actually wanting the healthy substitutes, being back to my old self.
(Also, the water where I am staying is amazing. Tasty filtered water is such a game changer when trying to carve out soda, haha.)
