So I've struggled with my weight for a very long time, basically my whole life and always have been dieting and trying to lose weight. Last year I lost about 13kg and gained back 20.
I'm really not proud to admit that, and thinking about it genuinely makes my heart drop. I wasn't really eating well when I lost all that weight, and I don't recommend that. Anyway, now I'm really discouraged and I don't know where to start, especially because I'm back at the beginning of what seems to be a miserable loop I so desperately want to get out of.
Anyway, I have some concerns:
I'm really short (153cm) so I'm definitely not at an advantage and I'm told I need to lift weights; I tried getting into it with a personal trainer but she was honestly pretty terrible and would make fun of me to coworkers and that turned me off the gym for a bit. Not saying I won't work out. I have a treadmill at home, are there any workouts that I can do at home to build muscle? What's a good workout schedule?
As far as nutrition goes, I'm at my wit's end. Everyone says something different: track your calories, hit 100g of protein but don't forget your fiber. Go on a calorie deficit but make sure it's not too low. How do I know what's too low??
Compliance and maintenance. I think it goes without saying that I probably have a huge problem with that; I'm trying to think of weight loss as a lifestyle shift rather than a momentary thing but for some reason that makes it a lot harder. Every time I change for the better I get 100x worse.
I'm not trying to be negative and I haven't lost all hope but I'm feeling really lost and I'm hoping to get some advice or pointers to the right direction. Thank you for reading and I appreciate any comments.
