Hi everyone. Long time lurker from other accounts, first time poster (I think).
I’ve got a food problem. I think I am addicted to food. I don’t really have many vices but food and overeating has become this giant inescapable black hole for me.
For reference I’m 27 years old, female, 5’2ish and 149lbs. Until a few years ago I could eat whatever I wanted in whatever quantity I wanted and I took full advantage. Lots of fast food, lots of chocolate, candy, soda, the works. Now I can’t break the compulsion to eat, and specifically eat absolute garbage.
My metabolism naturally started to slow by like 24 and I put on a little weight but this year I’ve put on so much more and now I just FEEL bad. My clothes fit poorly, I don’t like looking in the mirror, etc.
I have tried several diets, lifestyle changes, etc - though probably not given them long enough tbf. I’ve tried appetite suppressants and metabolism boosters. I have a gym membership (haven’t gone in months due to covid), and want to start working out again but my body feels incapable of doing things bc of the extra weight I’ve put on. I know this probably sounds dramatic but I see myself spiraling out of control as I get older if I can’t get a handle on my eating habits.
Aside from therapy, which is on the table when I can afford it and have insurance in a few months, has anyone else struggled with food addiction and was there anything you did that helped you more than other things?
Thanks a lot! I appreciate all the feedback I can get.
