I’m extremely perplexed about what’s come over me, so I’d love a little help out. Has anyone else ever COMPLETELY lost the plot and thrown all their healthy eating changes out the window, for no good reason whatsoever, right when you’d found success? And what did you do about it?
I lost just about 60 lbs over the course of 2020. I didn’t do anything too extreme, just stopped gorging myself on pizza and ice cream, modeled my portions after my much thinner partner, took up running and body weight home workouts. I was the absolute fittest and healthy I’d ever felt in my life! Sleeping great, feeling upbeat, chronic pain disappeared, lots of good stuff. I was never one to feel like I needed motivation or feel deprived. It all felt very good and natural, and I honest to goodness thought I’d changed my lifestyle and my habits for good.
Then...mid-January happened. Randomly I ate a little more than usual- no problem normally- except then I did it again, and again, and again. Until I’m back to eating just as disastrously as I used to when I was 200 lbs, or maybe even worse. It’s been almost a whole month of this and I can’t for the life for me figure out why or how to stop. I’m not sure I even want to stop?? I hate feeling so crappy again. I hate that I’m sizing out of all my clothes. I hate the jiggle and out of breath and pain coming back. But I keep on making the same bad choices.
I know what to do, I know the answer- just STOP buying and eating all the crap! Do a workout again! It’s so easy! But it’s not. This came on so out of the blue, it’s not like anything in my life even changed. It makes me feel so so hopeless to know I’m breaking all the physical progress I’d made, and even more so that what I thought was a real genuine change in my eating habits and lifestyle could be so easily reverted back.
Sorry for the novel, if anyone read all that. Can anyone else relate to this, and have any idea why this sort of random self-sabotage can happen? How do I give myself the kick in the butt to move past what’s done and re-reverse my course?
