F 22 6’2” SW:370 CW: too afraid to step on a scale
Hi everybody, I’ve been lurking on this sub for the past couple months and, for really the first time, I’ve been losing weight. I’ve always eaten a lot and been an emotional eater, but I was never really overweight until after highschool. During highschool, I was super into basketball and played a few hours every day so I had no trouble staying at a healthy weight. I’ve just always turned to food to relieve anxiety and I’ve always been anxious. So, once basketball ended, the eating never really stopped. It’s been four years since then.
Anyway, over the past month or so I went down from 370 to about 357 and I’ve been really proud of myself. My daily calorie goal is 1300 and I had been sticking to that. I let myself feel/ stay hungry for the first time in so long. My pants fit better, I started going on walks sometimes, my mood improved even. My plans for the foreseeable future are to get under 300 pounds.
This week, though, I’ve gone so far off the rails. On thursday of last week I got into a car accident and it completely triggered all of my anxious eating habits. I’d been about three months clean of eating uber eats and last weekend I ate it for every meal. I ate until I was past full. I still haven’t been able to get back down under 2000 or so calories (haven’t been keeping track). I’m eating garbage and I’m terrified to weigh myself. I’m assuming everybody’s hit roadblocks like this? Do people have advice about how to get back into your healthier habits?
