So last year I had lost 40 lbs over the summer after gaining a bunch of weight during the school year due to unhealthy habits. It was a lot of hard work and I was really proud of myself! (I did CICO, 16:8 fasting). This subreddit helped a LOT. But then... a few months later I had to get on medication for my mental health and within WEEKS I had gained all that weight right back. I’ve been devastated.
I want to get back to how I was but I can’t help but feel like it’s “unfair” and my hurt gets in the way of my motivation. I feel like I have to punish myself (restricting calories again, not eating when I reaaaally really want to, no sweets, etc.) for gaining weight that wasn’t in my control. I really want to move past those emotions so I can just get it done and lose the weight again and feel more self-confident and healthy but it’s like there’s just this huge mental block. Does anybody have any advice? Maybe if you’ve been in a similar position?
