This is a tough post to write becuase its the first time I admit it to anyone else.
back in 2016, i started eating way healthier and working out after some serious emotional problems with my family. I did not do it to lose weight, I started because I needed something to distract me from my awful feelings. Went from 173 to 135ish in like a year ish. maitained pretty (gaining and losing 10ish pounds) until quarantine. quarantine let me have total control over my food intake, slept way more bc i did not have to wake up early to go to uni, and worked out more bc of free time so i lost weight and got to 127ish in late july/early august.
tried to transition to maintenance and my fall semester started. oh boy. i would diet so well during the week but friday-sunday?? binge fest to deal with anxiety and stress due to a very demanding course load. and its been like that till now. i currently weigh 140-143 ish.
now, i will admit that i like how i look now more than when i weighed 127, but i would like to get to 135 because i want to be a healthy weight for my height (5'3) also binging on sugary shit is not good for my health.
i hate how out of control i feel during binges and how sick i feel afterwards. the weight gain doesnt bother me as much, its these patterns ive developed that really bother me. i just want to stop binging. i hate it, but i cant make myself stop
for reference, i am 5'3, pretty active (over 10k steps a day, mix of strength training and cardio (total 6 workouts a week)) i normally eat ~1800 cals mon-thurs and ~3500 fri-sun)
