Growing up with parents who've always kept junk food in the house, I grew up fat. Really fat. I really want to lose weight but I feel like all routes lead to failure, and I don't know what to do. I'm so out of shape that going on simple walks can leave me with so much back pain that I can't bend over for the rest of the day, but dieting is also a bit of a dead-end. If I try to eat healthily, I become obsessed with the nutritional value of the food I'm eating, or I start counting calories. And when I start counting calories, I end up restricting calories to an unhealthy level.
Now, I'm aware that restricting calories to an incredibly low amount is actually counterproductive and can make my body store fat instead, but logic tends to fly out the window when I'm in a slump like that. Does anyone know how I could possibly lose weight in a way that won't set off my eating disorder again?
Also, I should note that the "out of sight, out of mind" strategy for junk food won't work. I'm living in the same house as my father who impulsively buys junk food frequently, so I can't exactly avoid it.
