Hey all,
This is my first post on a weight loss forum. I am in a bit of a tough situation an am looking for guidance and advice to get back to where I was just several months ago. Here’s my story.
I am 35 years old and 5’10” and have always struggled with my weight and keeping it off. Ever since I can remember I would lose weight and then gain it back. My heaviest was 255 about 9 years ago.
In 2020 I had 2 back surgeries and gained around 25lbs, which at the time put me at 227. Since then I have wanted to lose weight and started losing around May of last year. By June I was down to 219lbs and started a new job. I was more active and was in a generally healthier environment. I drank a lot of water and cut out sugar and ate vegetables every day for about 2-3 months for lunch. I ate a regular dinner which consisted of anything. At my new job I was walking anywhere from 5-8 miles each day. I started noticing a considerable difference in a short period of time. I am now down to 175. In the past month I lost my job and was separated from my wife. I am currently living with my parents to get back on my feet. Since then, I have not been near as active and don’t have the option of walking near as much due to the fact that it takes about 25 minutes to drive somewhere to walk everyday because I live in a rural area. I have started noticing that I’m gaining fat in my lower stomach area and “love handles”. Also noticing my face is looking heavier. I haven’t gained any weight, and actually have lost 2 more pounds since everything has happened in the last month. I also haven’t been focused solely on my clean eating like I was when I lost due to all the stress. Will I lose back the fat I have gained just by eating clean and cutting out sugar? My options are very limited right now due to my situation. Thanks for your time reading my post.
