Hi!
So basically the past year I lived in France, gained like 20 pounds from all the food, and now I'm trying to be disciplined and actually lose weight so I can get to about 140 pounds. I'm 5'4 (F) and around 165 pounds - which does not feel like a healthy weight for me- and since coming home I've lost like 15 pounds, but have been stuck at my current weight for months. Now that it's winter I have even less motivation to work out, but I really do have to so I can feel better. At my current weight I feel very lethargic, tired all day, have brain fog, but then I eat almost to make myself feel better sometimes??? I do have a problem with emotional eating but don't know how to get this under control. I also go out running but I find that I have to stop a lot. I actually was super athletic when I was younger, but as I've gotten older gaining weight has been A LOT easier unfortunately, despite my attempts to (sort of) eat healthy, and my weight has fluctuated a lot the past few years (like highest being 175, lowest being about 148).
I know the simple way to lose weight, move more eat less, but it's way harder to actually make myself do it. I KNOW it'll make me feel better, but I start to obsess over the scale too much, and it definitely affects my mood. I haven't really tried to lose weight for at least 2 months now because I've convinced myself it just won't happen, but I've succeeded in the past. So I know it's possible. Basically just need that first success to know I can do it and should continue to be healthy, and I'll start losing weight.
SO all in all, someone have words of wisdom on becoming disciplined to actually lose weight? I think it could really help my well-being :)
