I actually lost some weight!

I’m proud of myself.

After a traumatic event I developed an anxiety disorder and I started overeating. I ate to feel something when I was experiencing depersonalization/derealization and to control my anxiety. I ate more and more, all the time. An hour not eating was actually really difficult.

Since the start of this year I worked really hard against my mental problems. Sometimes I was too tired to fight, or too anxious. But I kept going. Change is difficult and takes a long time. I started eating less, and less often. I ate each time just five minutes later than usually. I also started exercising.

And now, I actually feel that I made progress. I can think about other things than food. I still eat too much, too often, but so much less than it just to be.

And I lost weight! All this time, I was still gaining weight, but now I actually lost some weight! It’s just 1-2 kilo, but it’s something!
