Sorta been lurking here a bit, but finally decided to cave in and ask. I'm 15 year-old male, 5'8 and a half, and 153 pounds. Been working out for about 2 years but have not done weight loss till 14 (nothing extreme only in like a 200 calories deficit at most so I don't stunt anything). Slowly losing weight so I can improve with my athletics (doing gymnastics, track, and cross country).
So I'm naturally chubby and have my dads genetics (whom puts on a weight and fat a lot easier, also muscle but I'll tall about that later) and I can eat A LOT! Even before working out, I could just eat and eat and food would be the only thing on my mind. Got tired of it and started working out at 13 (though I've always done cross country and track in the past, but I haven't done anything with my diet, I wasn't fat but I was definitely on the skinny-fat side, more fat than skinny). Somehow, I did it for about a year but I don't know what's different now, I seem to be yo-yo dieting a lot, I'll tell myself "It's fine I'll just restart" but I'm tired of that cycle. Been doing it for the past 5 months, and it's driving me insane. I always have that little excuse at the back of my head like "Oh, I'll be fine I can burn it off tomorrow" or "Maybe I'm just more hungry because I've been putting on more muscle" but it still feels wrong and I am in fact slowly putting on weight rather than losing it slowly. My family loves to cook and there's always food out whenever I go downstairs. I cook my own diet food but there are times where I'm like "that looks good" and eat it. I'm not sure how to combat this cycle of always telling myself "I'll do it tomorrow." If you ask me I think it'd be easier to diet without all the distractions of food that are in my reach downstairs, but I'm still stuck in my house till I move out (Don't get me wrong though, I'm very grateful for the food my family provides and love them a lot, it's just very hard to diet with all the high calorie food in my grasp. Got an asian family and sheesh it's hard not to eat it...) On a side note, I try and give myself a little day where I can eat the food my family makes, but I'm not sure how to track those calories cause I'm not sure what they put in it. Any thoughts on this as well besides that entire rant I went on up there?
