I just found this Reddit group and thought I would post because I'm genuinely feeling discouraged.
About 3 years ago, I transitioned into bad eating habits. I would have coffee in the mornings, and then have dinner at 4pm (500 calorie intake or so) I would binge during dinner, and this went on for 3 years. I didn't realize I was doing it, and as people began to point it out I began to feel uncomfortable. At the time, I was 83 kg, 5ft 6', and 20 years old. About 2 months ago, I got fed up and started to eat more because everyone was telling me that I wasn't losing weight because of my eating patterns. I started eatting about 900-1200 calories a day. I started off slow. In the last month, I have taken my diet very seriously, I have a well balanced breakfast, fruits throughout the day, and overall healthy meals. I have a cheat day every 2 weeks, just so I don't always feel left out. I now consume about 1300-1400 calories a day.
Anyways, when I went to the doctor I found out I was 88 kg now. I wanted to break down because everything I was doing and nothing was working. I got a referral to a nutritionist and she literally told me that weight is just a number, calories don't matter, and that you only live once and should enjoy what you eat. She didn't even weight me or anything. I left her office feeling even more upset because everyone makes me feel like theres no hope at this point. I've continued to eat healthy even after seeing her and I've begun to work out (30 minute treadmill workouts because I'm so out of shape). But, I'm starting to wonder if theres even a point? All I do is gain weight, and my doctors and nutritions aren't even taking me seriously its geniuenly beginning to frustrate me.
I think its more upsetting when I see my siblings eating what they want, as they have fast metabolisms, and I'm stuck gaining the weight. It just really sucks because I don't even know why I'm gaining weight and I feel like nobody believes in me anymore and the fact that I'm not seeing results just makes me want to stop altogether.
