I've had an unhealthy relationship with food for as long as I can remember and I have been overweight all my life. Food has always been a source of pleasure and has helped me cope with anxiety and depression.
Last December, I decided that I needed to lose the weight and change my life for good (after having been brainwashed by the fat acceptance movement for a few years). It's been approximately 11 months and I've lost close to 45 lbs (starting weight: 253 lbs). I've mostly been doing calorie restriction and would be in a deficit of 500-700 calories a day.
However, over the past 3-4 months, it's been harder than ever to maintain a deficit, most days I either eat overeat or eat an equivalent of my BMR/RMR.
My problem mainly is portion sizes and the constant need to be eating something. I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE EITHER EATING OR THINKING ABOUT MY NEXT MEAL. It's what I think about most of the time and one of the very few things that bring me comfort and make me happy. It's making it very hard to maintain a deficit long term. I'm already starting to gain weight (3-5 lbs) and it's making me feel terrible. HELP!
