Those are some serious swings! Not really finding a sustainable diet and exercise routine?

I know right. The only diet I've ever done is simple calorie counting. It's always been effective when I do it and stick to it. I know it's not the most ideal but being a very picky eater, truly healthy choices like a salad aren't gonna happen (aside from the fact that I drink water 95% of the time as I don't need empty calories).

Looking at the pattern now, I just realized the biggest factor has always been the level of activity at my job. I had sedentary roles between May 2012- May 2013, and then again from Nov. 2015 - June 2016 and mid 2018 to present. It seems every time I switch to a more sedentary job or position, I gain weight since I'm not replacing the lost exercise.

Sedentary job + sedentary hobbies/preferred casual time has been killing me for 10 years. My phone pedometer rarely goes over 2k steps for a day. I'm gonna die early if I don't fix my shit...but change is hard. The crazy thing is that ~12 years ago I was 70 pounds lighter, loved working out, didn't really drink alcohol, and generally viewed food as fuel rather than pleasure/comfort.
