I have been losing weight since around December 2019ish, so around two years. My starting weight was 220ish and I am now at 133. I am 5'3/5'4 female and 22 years old. I am currently very stressed out because I have not lost weight since about July! I know I am doing everything right...I mean, I lost 80 pounds. I measure my food, and I have been consistently exercising for the past three weeks. I eat 1,200 calories every day. There were a few months where I developed really bad habits (500-800 calories a day) but I stopped losing weight doing even that. I know weight loss is basically calories in versus calories out, so I am so confused.
The only thing that comes to mind is because I allow myself cheat days, but I was averaging out the week to make sure that I do not go above 1200 calories a day on average. For the past month, I have been eating 1,200 calories a day and exercising at least an hour a day. The only time I am 'bad' is on Sunday, but I have three meals and don't really snack on that day. Still, it makes my weight go up so much, even though I am just having around 2,000 calories. It takes me like the whole week to lose that again.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to give up the day of enjoyment, but I don't know what else I could be doing wrong. I feel so unmotivated and depressed about this. It makes me want to revert to bad habits, like restricting. Does anyone have any tips of something I can try differently? I just don't know what is happening. I get a three-week plateau, but a three-month one?
