I’m getting frustrated with myself because I feel like I keep failing at trying to get healthier and lose weight. Sorry for the formatting because I’m on mobile. I have been overweight my entire life. I’m 33F now, and when I say my entire life I mean I was 99 pounds when I was in first grade. I have now made it to 305 pounds, and I’m frustrated with myself. I start to try and lose weight and I do well for a week before having a terrible day, eating whatever, and just saying screw it I’ll start again tomorrow. I’m not exercising I’m just trying to count calories. I don’t know how to break the cycle. I found out this year that I have Social and General Anxiety Disorder, sleep apnea, and I’m awaiting my results for ADHD. I went through a lot of trauma as a kid as well as an adult and I’m in therapy. I just don’t know how to keep going, how to stay on track and motivated. My wife doesn’t really support my journey because she believes in body positivity and all bodies are beautiful and to not try so hard to be at what society deems a healthy weight. I feel that I cope with food especially after a hard day, and although my therapist has given me some ideas and tools to not eat my feelings, I don’t remember to use them. I just see food and want to cope immediately. And before I know it the days progress is gone. I work at night and I only eat from 12 am til 9 am, so although I start my night off well by the time I get home from work I just eat a lot or will get take out on the way home. I’m asking for advice. If you were like me, how did you stay on track? How did you keep pushing after a week? Or how did you bounce back after a hard week? How do you stay on track with not so supportive spouses or families? Are there any hints and tips you could recommend? Thank you so much in advance for your time and thoughts!
