Back at it after another failure.
I’ve been struggling with my weight for about 15 years. I’ve done many diets and always regained the weight as they were crash diets and unsustainable in the long-term.
Last year I really thought I had it. I had discovered this community, started using MFP, and quit smoking (which is not really related to weight gain/loss but it made me feel like I could truly be healthy for the first time ever). I lost 17kg (37lbs) between January and July counting calories and walking a lot. It was the first time I didn’t feel like I was depriving myself and I felt really good physically.
And then I burned out. Nothing to do with the diet, just a lot of stress at work. I fell into a depression and basically gave up. I got very lucky because I found a better job in September, but by that time I had lost my focus and motivation. Also the doctor told me the pills he prescribed make you hungry and I used that as an excuse.
Anyway I regained it all and then some. I went up 20kg (44lbs) in the next few months (don’t know exactly how long it took because I stopped weighing myself).
So I’m back to square one, fairly confident in my ability to lose weight but very much doubting my ability to maintain. I decided to go slow this time and set a goal for November 2022. I hope this will give me enough time to develop better eating habits.
Wish me luck!
