The truth is... I can't lose weight not because idk how to eat healthy, not because I can't work out. I can do all those perfectly...
But...
The real reason I can't lose weight is because...
Deep breath I can't portion control.
There I said it. I eat massive amounts of food or so many snacks that the calories add up. I eat so much that I don't realize how much I eat till I see what (for lack of better words) what normal people eat. I could eat to large bowls of soup. I could eat tons of food in one sitting. I can snacks on junk food all day and in between meals. I honestly feel like I need to snack at any possible chance I have. (Also on the journey to why I feel the need to eat to excess) It almost hurts not to have something tasty in my mouth. It feels weird to not want to snack on something at least once each hr. whether I'm taking a bite of a cookie, a spoonful of rice, a small cup of cereal etc. Then meal time comes and I eat A LOT. Worse is that, I feel myself full and I'm not close to finish but everything in my head says "keep eating. Don't waste food" or sometimes I'm still hungry for more. Idk whether or not my I want something out of boredom, hunger or this need to not feel so empty? I could make a salad. But then I would add a lot of shit to it and in a large bowl. Then I'd treat myself to something sweet. Or a company it with a soda. Sometimes I won't even want a soda but something in my head says "you should have one"
It's like I eat because im afraid to lose it. To lose that joy. The only joy and comfort I have... Is food. And it makes me cry that the only thing that isn't causing me stress is also killing me. Im sick of being unhealthy I want to lose weight and be fit. But how do I portion my food like any other person??? Sometimes I think I've had too little and I find out that's someone's too much!! Im scared to go over board and begin to not eat at all (it's happened before)
Is there anyone out there?? Someone to tell me how they learned to portion control??? How they overcame not snacking so much, to eat a proper healthy size meal???
Please... I'm so desperate... I don't want to die.
