I have had one successful weight loss episode where I lost around 5 kg (11 lbs) in the lockdown around 2020.
But after that I had to go back to school, do the daily stuff and now I feel I have gained a bit back (around ~ 2kg-3kg) but I just can’t manage the time to jog in the morning since I have to get up early, run then go to school and comeback to studying.
This fucks up my sleep schedule pretty bad. What do you think I should do to manage this? I Sleep at around 11 pm, could make it to 10 if I stopped fucking around on the internnet that late.

    I lost around 40 pounds this way. I went from weighing 215 to 175 during COVID lockdowns, and I was still eating pizza, candy, chips etc. I literally just tracked my calories and kept a deficit. I weighed myself every day too.

      I lost about 50lb quite a few years ago. My husband couldn’t understand how I was eating taco shop, ice cream, French fries, pizza, etc and still losing weight. He’d watched his sisters and step mom go through restrictive diet after restrictive diet, so many times, and that never worked,and here I am dropping weight.

      It’s so much easier to just reduce your calories than to cut whole groups of tasty foods out of your diet. I know I naturally started gravitating more toward “healthier” foods (high volume, low calorie, nutrient dense), the longer I was eating how my body needed me to, instead of just all the things. Now I only have “bad” foods for holidays or maybe on the weekend.
