About 6 months ago I finished an outpatient weekly eating disorder CBT group. I dont find Im getting the most realistic advice from them in regards to my health, being that they don’t use ANY diet or numbers talk (which makes sense, but doesn’t necessarily help at all)
I am female, 25 years old, sedentary desk job but try to walk around the branch lots. 5’9 and 265lbs. I’m yo-yo dieted, done the HCG diet, tried isagenix, tried calorie counting, and I even used to work out hard core with power lifting under an excellent personal trainer. Doing the work outs I got down to ~ 190lbs and still didn’t LOVE my body then, but I remember feeling less disgusting and I loved feeling strong, skinny wasn’t necessarily the goal. I have a awful “FUPA” that is now sagging and has stretch marks all over it. I am of the mindset that I have RUINED my body.
I was diagnosed officially with bulimia, but without the clinical binge, just a perceived one. I also have PCOS. I personally have always thought I was addicted to food and secretly thought going to treatment I would lose weight. I only gained 15lbs but they’re telling me my body is still in the process of finding its “set point”. I’m currently on Vyvanse and Prozac (not really sure if this matters). Within the last 4 years I’ve gained almost 55-70lbs. I need help.
I’m not sure if this is enough information, and I’m very nervous about posting here, but I don’t know where to go from here. I’m cooking more at home, don’t eat ice cream, chips, or sweets as much considering I’m trying to find that “healthy balance” and NOTHING helps. I’ve been working out doing a circuit M, W, F and a 3km jog T and Thurs and most Saturdays do a 9-11km walk in the morning. I know eating below TDEE is important but calorie counting a very slippery slope for me right now.
Sorry for the long winded brain dump. I’m just trying to not forget anything. I have lurked and searched and googled so many different threads and searches on this and I don’t know where to go from here.
Any advice?
