My weight has been fluctuating a lot since I graduated. With no activity I went up to 67kg, was getting close to 68kg. Couldn't fit into my clothes and buying new ones when I had no job yet was starting to put a strain on my wallet.
Found a job a year after graduation. Started watching what I ate. Being occupied with work I didn't snack on useless snacks anymore.
Ate very small portions. Really small no meal was ever bigger than 1 or 2 cups. I cut out a lot of salt and sugars from my diet. Drank a lot of oolong tea and water. No more pop, juice or anything sugary.
Gotta say being a stable 63kg now paid off.
I didn't really exercise. It's the small portion eating that helped. I know people hate calory counting, but I counted average calories just to see if I was going overboard with my eating, not to obsess over it. Knowing that if I ate that chocolate now meant I had no dinner later, made me not eat the chocolate, since I wasn't really hungry to begin with, I was just craving.
Cutting out much of the salt and sugar out of my diet, cut down a lot on the cravings as well.
With summer coming, I hope to get out more and be more active. Gotta reach that 60kg somehow. I will finally be able to fit into those old dresses. It would be a pitty not to wear them again. They were a fortune to begin with.
