It's far away and my weight loss has slowed down.
I want to get to a muscly 150. Where I was 155 I was a skinny fat anorexic 155 in the past. Not good.
I bumped up my caloric intake.
It's really hard to put on the calories tho when avoiding pastries, cheese, fast food. Fried foods.
Example of what I ate this morning:
Leftover meatloaf 3.5 oz, 1 1/2 tbsp mashed taters. Chia seed pudding. 1/2 serving Oatmeal, with a little fiberone sprinkled.
Lunch was one naan. Whole milk Greek yogurt one tbsp olive oil and a chopped up date.
Yesterday's dinner was corn tortillas w left over shredded baked chicken peppers and quinoa and some yogurt. Jalapeņos. Like... ~180 calories a piece, more like linner. Lunch + dinner. I would prefer to just skip dinner all together tbh.
I don't have full control over my meals/ meal times *yet!
Lotta times breakfast is like 1 cup almond or organic plain no sugar soy and like some fruit. And a full serving of fiber 1 and maybe a hard boiled egg.
Or an egg over easy on rye with Amish butter.
Or I do like sourdough, hummus, and some salad greens and jalapeņos. Or some lentils, black beans, and some other veg + some spinach.
Or rice and grilled shrimp with a light salad.
Tbh it's hard to find good saturated fats and omega 3s
I did salmon a few weeks ago. And a whole grilled pompano which took me like 4 days to eat skin and all.
I've been rocking it!
I would need to eat like 5 or 6 meals a day to hit 2000 calories. My BMR has got to be right around 1400-1500
Only way to up that is eat a lot more and exercise which is hard. Long term goals!
When I was packing on weight I would eat like chicken nuggies and fries in the morning a 150 calories coffee and like a 1500 Chinese takeout in the evening and sleep a lot. Or big pizza. Stuff like ice cream or cakes as snacks.
I'm off the coffee completely.
60-80 oz water daily.
Maybe camomile or black tea occasionally.
I'm really ashamed of how big I let myself get so don't want to fess up.
My fave breakfast is like a poached egg broke over some Oatmeal. Poaching is a bit of effort tho.
I hate fruit

What's your ultimate goal? 25lb is good. You don't want to drop too much too fast.
I had Covid over the holidays and it dropped me from 180 lbs to 162 lbs. I didn't need to lose weight and not only did I, I did it in a very unhealthy way. Damned Covid is no joke, and I'm vaccinated. I'm back up to 173 now and feeling better and less fatigued but it took its toll.

Ya. I dropped 10 lb with a fever cough and like 3 days of hell straight away awhile ago..if I was my 2018 weight I would have dropped to like 140, which is probably a danger zone for me. Even if I want to look like an irl skeleton.
