So far so good.
Still 53Kg, still doing my yoga and running, so all is good in the land.
The only thing I was trying to deal with is the increase of calories I needed, because 1500Kcal was absolutely unrealistic, and how to fit the extra calories in a non-chaotic way.
So I've tried a lot of things and failed, and I HOPE this last thing I tried, works:
I've noticed I'm really a night time snacker. Always been, and back when I was at 1200Kcal with no snacks that was a no brainer, cos I didn't have any Kcals "left" on the day. So I kind of kept that thought, then upping the Kcals in the 3 main meals instead... but then I found myself having eaten 1800Kcals, and then binging 700+ at night, and I just couldn't get it together!! So frustrating!! So that made me gain 1.5Kg (I was 51.5Kg), and kind of put me in a downward spiral...
So a couple of days ago I thought, well, why fight that snack desire? I might be able to kind of control it.
So I keep eating the 3 main meals with the Kcals I'm used to, which is more or less 200ish for breakfast, and 500ish for lunch and dinner, and the rest is just night snacking, or maybe another snack in the afternoon (normally fruit so we're good ;))
It's been 2 days, and 2 days is not much, but I held it together. I had the night snacks I wanted, I counted them, I still ended under 1700ish Kcals and lost weight.
TL:DR: Maybe the key was not to up the 3 main meals Kcals and call it a day, but to add a 4th meal at night, which is the time of day I have a tremendous trouble with (and the time of day I was binging to no end.)
Still... crossing fingers here that I've found the answer this time around.
