Hi everyone! Looking for advice on how to restart a weight loss journey after gaining a lot of weight back.
During the pandemic I managed to change my eating habits (mostly because I couldn't go anywhere and finally had the time and energy to cook -- I started making healthy meals and everything from scratch). I started running. I lost weight rapidly and got from about 217 to 156 pounds. Then I returned to grad school and started an incredibly stressful job, and I started steadily gaining weight. Now I am around 199 pounds and for some reason I can't get myself back on the horse.
My biggest weakness is takeout food -- eating a lot of fatty and or sugary food became one of my main coping mechanisms during the worst of my stress. A lot of times I just didn't have energy to cook. I think this has now become a deeply ingrained habit that is really hard to break. I have left my shitty and stressful job and finished grad school, so in theory I have more energy than I used to (although I still feel a lot of residual exhaustion from a really tough couple of years).
Does anyone have any advice for how to start again? I know the how of losing weight but for whatever reason I can't get myself to commit to eating better. Thanks in advance for any advice!
