This is more a venting moment and seeing how other people cope with this problem. So a little backstory. I have always struggled with my weight. After having my second child I got up to 315lbs. After being told I was pre-diabetic and feeling like absolute crap all the time I decided to take things seriously.
I started rock climbing, I changed the way I ate, eliminated sugar and processed junk from my diet. Did keto for over a year, but recently quit because blood sugar was dipping. I went from 315 to 195 in about 2 years. Then went back to fluctuating from 202-197. I know I’ve been building muscle but I’ve plateaued for months and months.
It gives me major anxiety to think I could gain any sort of weight again. I fear to going back to my 315 lb self. Getting off keto has intensified that fear. I hate that I am worried about every bite I take. I worry of going off the wagon a little bit. Granted, going off the wagon is not as bad as it was before but I feel like little by little those moments are going to creep up on me and I’m going to go back to how I was.
When I tell people this they go oh no that won’t happen you’ve changed so many of your bad habits, but it’s a legitimate fear I have. I know it sounds dumb to those who haven’t struggled with weight but I feel like I’m going to wake up one day and be 315 lbs again.
I eat well for the most part, but not seeing the scale move in months is really disheartening. Anyway, thank you in advance for your responses. I just needed to talk to a community that understands what I am going through.
