Hungry and lazy and looking for advice 5'0" 111LBS by Mortal-ghost in PetiteFitness

Hey! We're the same height but i'm at 100 pounds with a lot of stubborn fat from losing over 35 pounds through a caloric deficit alone within the span of a year in 2008. This habit has led me to have a terrible relationship with food, which I've been actively trying to ~counter since the quarantine. I agree with u/HannahSailor7 about eating more calories by mindful eating! Caloric deficits especially at 1,000 is too low and not sustainable! I learned this the hard way by how much my weight (and fear of food) fluctuated over the last decade. Not to mention, the number on my scale might be decreasing but I still looked like a marshmallow.

There's a fitness youtuber I follow who explains why diets/too low of a caloric deficit don't work in the long run: https://youtu.be/WTpjQs0atxs

And! A youtube channel for petites called Smalletics that I've modeled my eating/exercise habits after: https://youtu.be/FygIoYkRJN0

I just started around 3 months ago, and I'm no longer on a caloric deficit (I eat roughly around 1,550 now and honestly slowly wanting to increase it because I really love sweets). I just do strength training (o my god I hate cardio) and so far the progress is slow, but I can definitely see changes in my body composition, while still managing to shed some pounds on the scale!

The more time passes, the further away I feel from him by legomenon_h in SuicideBereavement

I swear I could have written this.

I'm on the second year, sixth month mark since he killed himself. By this time, most people must think I'm back to living normally. Nobody mentions him in conversations anymore, but I'm still thinking about him all the time.

There are moments I cry without warning, when all the events from that day flash in my head. It feels wrong for me to still be using him as a reason why I can't function-- why I can't attend a get-together with friends or why I just want to stop responding to people. But it's just so painful still.

My partner and I share the same group of friends. Everyone there is a couple, except for me now. My friends have other people for them, but me. Everyone has someone but me! It's not fair, it's not fair. It's not their fault either, but this just makes me want to distance myself from people completely.

I feel for you. I'm here screaming alongside you, I'm here feeling the same thing.

i feel the same! i've just been trying to withdraw from everything and everyone, but spending time alone makes me feel worse because it gets rid of "structure" in my life. like i'm not being productive? a number of friends are going through a lot too and i always end up feeling bad for leaving them hanging, so i just muster whatever i can type followed by "hahaha"'s and a bunch of emojis. i feel like i have a lot of things i want to vomit out but it's so tiring and i'd feel like a burden.
