ive been overweight for the majority of my teenager years, im now 19, going on 20 later this year.
since the begining of this year, i've been going in HARD on a calorie deficit. im f19, 240lbs, 5'5", started the year at 250.
ive gone down to like 235, but it always comes back up to 240, 243, despite the fact i usually do eat within 1200-1500cals.
my tdee should be around, like 2200,, right? so keeping to a deficit, even when im going over 1500 to 1600/1700, which does happen like once a week usually, therers always THAT day or whatever, i shouldnt gain weight, but i DO if i ever go abover 1500. which is even harder on my periods because food is one of the few relieving feelings when im on my period,
still, i rarely ever go over like 1800, i would think that should remain as a deficit, or at least i shouldnt gain back, but i DO. im up at 240 rn when i was down a 235. this is just so frustrating.
everytime i eat something i evaluate how many calories ive had and how many i can have, what time of day it is and "well, should i eat this given how much time is left in the day?" etc. i eat the same very few things. if i drink a starbucks drink that has 500 calories, i forego a meal so that i dont go over, etc etc etc. i am very confident that im doing this correctly, yet i ONLY seem to lose when i NEVER go over 1500, and even then that doesnt seem consistent? the math doesnt check out??
please dont be rude to me in the comments or make fun of me about how "i must be doing it wrong, the math doesnt lie" because i know that, thats what im thinking, but i just cant see it, i dont know what to do. im genuinely hopeless.
im sure exercise would help, but if i sit up my vision goes blurry and just walking around my house will tire me out. i cant even pull like, 10 minutes of walking at a higher speed or else ill have severe chest pain. im thinking that could be a medical thing, (because while ever since i quit karate (which i was overweight for too, but i was overeating then as a teen) ive been getting less and less fit, obviously, but i noticed a stark, sudden, decrease leading to the general incompetence in basic walking in june 2024, making me think its not just a matter of the fact im not very physically active.) but im scared of going to a doctor about it. i dont know what to do, i feel like im gonna cry.
