I'm not even sure if this is the right place to put this bc I'm new to reddit. I apologize in advance if it's not.
So just a little preface, I'm a 19 year old girl who is 60 lbs overweight. I gained about 60 lbs in the last three years (the recent 20lbs I put on in the last year). I guess my weight gain stems from stress from college. Last year was a very stressful time for me because I was working very hard to get into this super competitive program. I basically didn't have good time management skills so I stopped hanging out with friends and devoted all my time to studying (which in retrospect, was not a good idea at all). I used food as comfort and a way to motivate myself to study. Soon enough, I linked studying with eating high calorie snacks. I was so unhappy that I would eat just to gain a crumb of serotonin.
Now I feel so disgusted with myself. I feel guilty every time I eat. I have a referral to get one of those regular blood tests and I'm so nervous. It's been over two months since I've gotten the referral and I still haven't booked it. I was watching a documentary about obesity and I full on had a panic attack because what if I get diabetes or a heart disease or something. I couldn't even finish my dinner. I just started crying. Sometimes I feel scared because what if I wake up one day and I'm 300 lbs. The thought of it terrifies me. The thought of food terrifies me.
How do you suggest an out of shape, 60 lbs over weight person goes about losing weight and keeping it off? What worked for you? If you've been on a similar boat, please message me. I'd love to hear your story.
