I have gained about 20 lbs in the past year and I’m so frustrated. Last August, I moved from a city to the suburbs. It was a big change in part because I had been living alone and due to unforeseen circumstances had to move back in with my family. I was trying to lose weight before the move and had lost around 5lbs in one month so I know I can do it.
In the city, I walked everywhere - work, grocery shopping, restaurants, etc — and now I don’t walk anywhere. I’ve been trying so hard to motivate myself but I just can’t get back into it. I’ve now been going to the gym for the past month 3x/week. I haven’t seen any changes but I do feel stronger so that is a positive.
Since moving home, I’ve also been tracking my calories and am struggling so much to stick to it. I did not have this problem before when I tried and successfully lost weight in the past. I know I just have to be strict with myself but it is so hard living with other people and just being in less control of what I eat.
What is really making me want to get disciplined with the calorie counting is I went to the doctor last week and when I noted I was struggling to lose weight, she asked if I would try a GLP 1. I’ve been spiralling since. I don’t think I’m huge (I wear a size M/L or 8-10) but apparently I’m obese. I’m also close to my highest weight ever and that is making me panic and feel bad so now I just really need to kick it into gear. I am going to cut to 1300 calories with only a 50 calorie margin of error. I know I can do it because I’ve done it before but it’s just so daunting!
