When I was 19, I lost 100 lbs by counting calories and walking. 1500 calories a day, 30 minutes walking. I didn't have many responsibilities in my life, so when I got stressed and wanted food I just played video games instead.
I then proceeded to gain more and more weight each time I hit stress in my life (career struggles, relationship, corporate job, depression, pandemic isolation loneliness, etc..). I gained 120 lbs back and really feel like I've hit rock bottom.
I want to change for the better. My motivations are wanting to live longer, wanting to be able to enjoy music festivals and playing sports with friends to the fullest, wanting to be able to attract a quality mate, and wanting to set a positive example from my brother who's more obese than I even am. However each time I try to lose weight, I fail and just end up binge eating again.
So what can I do to make weight less more sustainable in this more stressful lifestyle I live now as an adult. I can't just turn to video games everytime I need distraction from my cravings. Does anyone have some tips about what tweaks they made to make their weight loss work and have longevity in their stressful lifestyle?
