I had a baby 18 months ago. I’ve got 21lbs to lose to be back to my previous weight & have honestly been trying for the past 16 months. Some weeks I will lose 1-2lbs, then I have a stressful week/am tired/can’t be bothered & eat loads of shite all week & put it back on (and evidently plus more). I now weigh 7lbs more than I did 12 months ago. Would like to start thinking about TTC but really need to shift this weight first. I use MFP & have tried different varying calorie deficits. But I find my mood massively affects my attitude towards food. How do I stop this once and for all?
I’m active (run 5k twice per week, walk a couple of miles a day with the pushchair, and usually do 1 x 30 min strength workout pw)
I find that I dread exercise mostly because I’m time poor (but force myself) I’m sure it increases my appetite the next day when I’m a little bit sore/body feeling tired - but not sure if that’s psychological?
I’m wondering if cutting back on exercise would actually be better for me in that technically my appetite shouldn’t be as big the day after? Or would this be crazy? I’m scared to cut back incase I end up piling on even more weight!
I can’t carry on like this. Someone please give me some direction! Thank you
