I’ve (21F) struggled with my weight my entire life. One of my earliest memories in elementary school was when a kid called me fat.
Fast forward to 2017. I weighed 254lbs age 18. Last time I had even stepped on a scale was when I weighed 200lbs. I had just finished up my freshman year at college and I was extremely embarrassed. I was the fat friend.
For New Years 2018, I decided I wanted to lose weight. I came to this sub, learned all about CICO, tracked religiously, and saw results. I lost 50lbs in about 5 months. Since I saw success, I got lazier and stopped tracking. I thought that CICO was fucking with my mental health because I became obsessed with the numbers. I continued to write down all my food and maintained my weight at about 200lbs for a year and a half.
In late 2019, I stopped caring. I started eating whatever I wanted, wasn’t tracking food of any sorts and stopped weighing myself. I was staying physically active as I was training for 48.6 mile race series (Disney’s Dopey Challenge). I ran that in January and have been down a slippery spiral ever since.
I gained the weight back. I feel like shit. I am struggling.
How do I start over? How do get myself feeling better but also keeping my mental health in check?
Thanks for reading.
Tl;dr: I lost my weight and gained it back. What advice/support do you have to someone starting over?
