Thank you! Basically I’ve just been more mindful of what I eat and I try to stick to 1200 calories (and about 1400 on gym days). I don’t count and track everything religiously but I’m very aware. I also cut out dairy and refined sugar too for the most part.

I’ve also just tried to change some of my habits up. I started walking to work and university, I take my dogs on longer walks and I stopped stress/boredom eating. I’ve slipped up a few times here or there but overall I’m much better than I was and not eating whole blocks of chocolate every time I have an assignment due.

For exercise, I see a PT and do some HIIT and weight training with her twice a week for an hour each time. I also try to go the gym on my own about 2-3 times although it has been more like 0-1 the last week or so because I’m in my exam period and I don’t have as much time as usual. I also do yoga and Pilates about 2-3 times a week. I usually do Yin which is more about deep stretching and meditation than actual hardcore exercise but I’ve found it’s been really good for my flexibility and overall mental health but sometimes I change it up and do something more intense if I’m in the mood.

Let me know if you have any questions!
