So last year I lost around 25 pounds through intermittent fasting & calorie deficit/tracking. I felt amazing! Then got on Zoloft and within 2 months was back up 25 pounds and after a year on it gained around 35-40. It was like I didn’t even notice and then I woke up one day and was sitting at 200 lbs, feeling absolutely miserable. I’ve always had success in the past with tracking, cutting out sugary drinks, etc. for some reason though, now I feel almost incapable of doing anything. It’s like I desperately just want to jump back into the groove and lose weight but every day I have a new excuse why I don’t make good choices. I’m off Zoloft now for about 2 months, seeing a therapist, but not losing. Obviously COVID has an impact, the holidays, and I’m a full time nursing student working part time on my city’s covid unit as an aid which takes a mental toll. I know those are barriers but so what? I should be able to do this. I feel utterly lost and miserable about myself but somehow that isn’t enough to push me into doing what I know I need to do to get the weight off. Not sure if any of this makes sense or if anyone has felt this way but if anyone out there can give me some insight...it would be appreciated.
TLDR: gained a bunch of weight the last year, feel mentally unable to make healthy changes despite the deep desire to do so. Don’t know how to get myself into the right headspace to start back up again.
