TW: eating disorder
Hi! I'm new to reddit (I finally looked into it to understand all the WSB stuff) and found this page which I think might be useful for my question. I checked the FAQ as well as the Daily Q&A's and couldn't find anything that answers my question.
Growing up I had a very unhealthy perspective of food. My grandma was very into telling me how fat I was and I was very obsessed with my self image. This all ended in high school when I started doing essentially an all smoothie diet to keep thin, and realized I was developing/in the midst of an issue.
Ever since I quit the gym and dieting all together. But now I am mentally in a better place and have gained an amount of weight that has made me unhealthy. My partner and I have both decided to go on diets and workout daily, and for about 2 weeks we have kept that promise.
One issue I am encountering while dieting is calorie counting. I can already feel that obsession with what I'm eating creeping back, feeling let down by myself even if I go 10 over my restriction limit, etc. I can feel myself becoming more vulnerable to thoughts I used to have about myself and the way I treated food.
Before this I was into intuitive eating, however I just found that didn't work for me. My body always just wanted more chocolate and more food. But now restriction is becoming a problem.
Does anyone have any advice on how to not become so obsessed with food while also tracking the calories I eat?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
