Im 52

Starting weight before Covid: 114lbs
4 months later and before baby: 121 lbs - eh everyone gained weight wfh
1 month after giving birth: 127 lbs - neat I didnt gain much during pregnancy
3 months after birth: 131 lbs - crap I should eat better and exercise, failed
8 months after birth (last December): 136 lbs - fml what did I do

My eating habits have been terrible since wfh and worse with a baby. I just dont have the energy and kept ordering takeout. In December when I weighed myself at the doctor and saw the number, it hit me hard and I really started to diet.

Ive lost 5 lbs in a month. Back to 131 which I was last July. I started to diet then but I tried keto and IF and it wasnt sustainable. Now Im on a 1200 calorie diet (wouldnt recommend unless youre a shorty like me)

My goal is 120 lbs but ideal would be 115 and it seems like such a long road ahead. Im always hungry and cranky. I work 9-10 hours a day then have a baby to take care of in the evening and I dont have the energy to cook most of the time so forget any of the fad diets. Definitely no time or energy to exercise. Maybe some walks here and there. So I just try and count calories.

I lost 5 lbs but I just undid the damage to myself after I first made a point of losing weight back in July. So I dont feel like Ive made real progress. Mad at myself for gaining so much after baby.
