Hi everyone. Sorry to post a negative message like this, but am really feeling overwhelmed and love this community so much.
I have been overweight my whole life, but gained a huge amount of weight after I began dating my fiance (the typical comfort-weight). After getting engaged, I lost a ton of weight in preparation for my wedding - by March 2020 I had lost 25 pounds. I was on a roll, working out every day, eating healthy, and living the energetic and happy life I wanted to have. I was so proud of myself and so confident....and then COVID hit.
We were supposed to get married July 2020 but, like so many, we ended up having to postpone. After making the devastating decision, and after a challenging year full of emotional eating, I have gained all of the weight back (and then some). Our new wedding date is set for this July (2021), and I am having major struggles with my mental health, which has destroyed any motivation to lose weight.
I suddenly found myself here today, 2.5 months away from my wedding, and 40 pounds overweight, and I feel physically sick when I look in a mirror. I am humongous. I am disgusting to look at. And I'm stuck in this paradox of not being able to bear the thought of looking like this on my wedding day and wedding photos, and yet still not possessing the motivation to break out of my emotional eating and drinking trend I am so stuck in.
I guess what I'm looking for are any tips for how to break out of this loop - how to motivate myself to be better, to stop getting dragged down by the uncertainties of COVID, to stop stuffing myself full of junk and getting bigger. I just need help.
(TL;DR: I'm grossly overweight and can't motivate myself to fix it, despite my wedding being 2.5 months away)
