So like most of us I am here because I need to lose weight. I have been trying for a while without counting calories, I was trying to focus on going to the gym and just making healthy choices, but my weight just sat in the 230s as usual. I was trying to avoid counting calories because of last time I’ve lost weight.
Back in 2007 I lost 95 pounds in just under five months. I started counting calories and I tried to eat around 1200 but quickly began eating less than 800 cal every day. I would buy myself small treats but I was so afraid that if I ate one I would eat them all so they just collected. I ended up with this huge bag of chocolate bars under the China hutch while refusing to eat anything more than 500-800 cal a day and working out a minimum of three hours. I was at my goal weight for exactly one day, I had Taco Bell and gained 3 pounds. Over the next few months I gained about 20 pounds back, and then we moved and the first winter was really hard on me and I gained 50 pounds. Over the course of the next couple years I got right back up 250 where I had started and that’s where I’ve been sitting since.
So here’s the problem, I wasn’t losing weight just working out so I started counting calories again because as is said over and over again on this very sub, CICO is what works. But now I am a few days in and for three days in a row have not made 1200 cal. Today I hit 855 cal for the day, and I tried to eat but there were two meals I just can’t stomach.
This is what I do, I have an unhealthy relationship with food and I either eat it all or I hyper restrict. I am all or nothing and I know they are both so unhealthy but I do not know how to change it. Why am I so all or nothing?
I don’t expect you guys to know why my relationship with food is so messed up, but if you have any advice I will give anything a try. I just want to be healthy.
