I’ve lurked here often these past two years and have been able to go from 155lbs to 127-130lbs very very slowly. I’ve been working on my mental health along the way. It’s been such a battle because I somehow get my ducks in a row with my social life and actively participating in my community, or my health, but never both at the same time.
I had been working out three times a week with a trainer since early July - Sept, but stopped after my sessions ended. I thought I’d get back to the gym “tomorrow” but that never happened. I’ve been eating like crap too. I’m afraid that in the last two months, I’ve gained a few lbs already (I haven’t got the guts to check).
I’ve got two weddings coming up- I’m hyper aware of my appearance, and my anxiety is flaring up again, and I’m so scared it’ll take me down to rock bottom again in terms of my physical and mental health overall. I tend to binge eat when stressed out and isolate myself socially and think of myself as not worthy of going out, and tend to immerse myself in Netflix or YouTube to distract myself from my depressive and anxious symptoms. It sucks, and I know it’ll suck worse if I get back up to 155 or more.
I could really use any words of advice, encouragement or tips. I’m really struggling here to start at Day 1 of CICO again.
Edit: I’m 5’1, for context. On my body type, 130 looks very overweight.
