I'm 5'9 23F and for a large portion of my life I have been overweight. I was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder at ~18 that for a long time went unchecked and destroyed my metabolism. Any wrong choice I made went straight to fat and it was confusing and confidence shattering. My intense fatigue made it impossible to exercise. I peaked at 260lbs.
Since then, I have had a very difficult time losing significant amounts of weight. I have yet to get back under 200lbs and I constantly fluctuate between 230-240. I am currently about 232 or so after reaching my peak weight again (260) in December due to inactivity from quarantine.
I moved out of my parents house where I was constantly surrounded by bad foods and now I work somewhere I need to be highly active. The weight has been falling off which I've enjoyed, but I'm scared about the sustainability of it and if I'll be able to lose more weight. My GW is 180 (I'm tall so I think that's fine to at least start with) and I am just for lack of better words so goddamn used to being huge.
Right now I eat very healthy (majority of my diet is lean protein and vegetable) but I'm constantly facing the temptation of binging in order to meet the caloric deficit my body is facing. I'm just scared I'm never going to get there and need a bit of advice and encouragement. I'm doing all the right things right now and am consistently shedding weight but it just feels like I'm meant to give in and fail.
