hello I'm new! Decided to try something different and document my progress here.
Ever since gaining 50 pounds back after a successful diet, I really lost hope. It was the same time doing pool exercise at the gym, and then it just started climbing :S Simultaneously, the stress of covid struck that worsened my anxiety/depression to emotional eating. Even to this day I'm still on edge. I know I've taken control before and stuck to my decisions...not going to lie, its been hard to find the motivation again.
Currently, I am 5'5'' at 250. My goal is small in getting back to 220, and then 200 again. I'm doing what I did before which was a semi-keto diet and lessened by meals per-day. In this time I've found what helps my metabolism; sugar/carbs is my worst enemy lol. I do very well when eating saturated fats and protein. However, with the limited options there are I have no choice but to have a bit more carbs (like bread, veggies, or starches). The biggest challenge is not get caught up in sweets since its been my 'buddy' this past year
. On the plus side, I do have stevia to substitute since banana's and oats help my digestive system (banana bread and oatmeal bars..I bake these myself). Of course, portions are just as important about what I'm eating!
I'll also be adding in some fitness with an app I found. Fitness has been hard for me from feeling afraid or embarrassed. I've always been active younger, and then it suddenly makes me feel nervous. Though I want to try to be more active to improve my stamina..
Final notes: I don't know if I can trust the process again so maybe having a place to document my feelings might help! There may be times where I want to give up; I've been hard on myself since then but this time I want to take things steady and be okay with it. Thanks for reading~
