I (30 non-binary) have been on a weight loss journey for about a year now. I have lost about 25lbs and I have 40 lbs more to lose. I will admit, when I had covid last January, I fell off and went back to my old ways. Then in June, I finally got back on track and eventually got off the regained weight. My starting weight was 197lbs. My current weight sits at around 172lbs. My goal is to be 132lbs.
Since September, I have been eating around maintenance calories while exercising frequently (weight lifting). I haven't lost much since then, but I haven't gained either. The scale stays roughly the same and my body measurements stay the same. I was fine with this as I saw it as taking a little bit of a break to prioritize other things.
The last four days have been a massive binge party for me. I cannot believe how much I've eaten. My mom made me some Hello Dolly squares (layered squares) and I've eaten so many that I've felt sick. I feel bloated and awful. I cannot keep doing this to myself. I never want to feel this bloated, disgusting feeling again. My stomach feels like it's going to burst. I haven't been to the gym since Friday cause they were closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I just feel like I've failed so horrendously.
I want to get back on track tomorrow. I'm worried that I will be too tempted as sugar is a huge problem for me. I also recently found out I am prediabetic, so I need to find a way to get my sugar cravings under control. My problem is that it's like an addition. If I eat a little bit of sugar, I cannot stop.
Mostly just venting, but does anyone have any advice for overcoming sugar cravings following the holidays?
