I've had a shitty week and there are a million things in my life I'm not happy with, but this is the one I'm starting with. I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER YEAR FEELING LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP!
Some background: I'm 5'10", 32yrs, male, 275lbs. I lost a lot of weight when I was around 20 - went from 303 to 164 in about a year and a half. I felt so IN CONTROL then, but the weight has come back and I can't seem to do anything about it. I don't know if my body has changed or I just don't remember how I did it the first time well enough, or what. But the best I can seem to do is hold steady until something throws me off, then I gain a few pounds and that's the new floor.
So I'm reaching out to the community here for some crowdsourced encouragement and rules for the road. Thoughts on the following statements:
(1) If I maintain my calories to 1500 a day, I should lose weight. Right?
(2) I can budget those calories out over the course of a few days - so that I'm having Maybe 2000 one day and 1250 the next two days. Is that right? I'm trying to figure out how to do this without limiting myself too much in social situations because I just moved to a new city and I'm feeling socially isolated right now.
Any other thoughts? Things that have helped folks here? I know that the name of the game is slow and steady - but I also feel like I need to see some success soon to keep me moving because I'm just feeling so discouraged right now.
