I've been trying to maintain my 20 kg weight loss for about 4 months, but my weight has crept up again by about 5 kilos. Additionally, I struggle with binge eating pretty badly. I've been trying and failing to lose the weight again and just been feeling a bit disappointed in myself that I cave so easily.
How do I move past the last few months and really turn over a new leaf, mentally? I feel like the hardest part is trying to do things differently tomorrow, when I've already had such a terrible few months. I just feel demotivated and terrible in my own skin, and slip back into the same pattern of eating until I hurt.
I'm just overwhelmed with everything, what to eat, what I should avoid, how long I should wait in between meals, what if I feel hungry sooner, what if I'm not hungry, what if I binge again or my parents make really nice food, etc. My head hurts thinking about it.
My current plan:
Calorie limit: TDEE minus 500 calories
Exercise: I am completely sedentary, maybe getting around 150 steps a day. I'll find 10 minute dumbbell workouts on YouTube to follow each day for the first 3 or so weeks, then build up from there.
I don't know how to structure my eating times though, and this is causing me the most stress. I'm not mentally flexible and would prefer to stick to the same rigid timings every day, but slight deviations due to work shifts really stress me out and throw me off.
I'm thinking that I could just eliminate all this stress by eating the same meals every single day, but without strict set timings. Therefore, I'll know the exact calorie count and be able to be flexible without having to constantly do the maths on how much I should eat to keep me full for x amount of hours?
