F20 5’10 CW:190 I’m looking for some advice. I’ve been trying to lose weight for a couple years now after gaining a lot of weight after a major surgery that put me in a wheel chair for about a year and halted all of my physical activity. Prior to that I was always an athlete and in good shape and I never had to worry about what I ate. I know that everything says not to restrict certain foods in your diet, even if you’re trying to eat in a calorie deficit, but that just never works for me. The only thing that has worked for me so far is completely restricting and cutting out all the food I like and basically eating the same thing everyday to maintain a strict calorie deficit. Last year I went from 203 lbs to 167 lbs in about 3 months doing this, and I felt so good about it. But as we all know, that was super unsustainable and as soon as I went back to my old habits I gained most of it back. This time around I’ve been trying to eat in calorie deficit but still include foods that I like and let myself occasionally go a little over my calorie amount, but it makes me so sad. I truly just love the feeling of eating a whole pizza, or eating a whole bowl of pasta with garlic bread and dessert, etc. and when I eat only some of it I just never feel satisfied. Also, I’m in college and I’m constantly in situations where trying to resist unhealthy food is really hard. I’m sure that food contributes too much to my happiness, but I can’t help it. I just feel like I could never be happy if for the rest of my life I have to eat like this in order to be skinny. I exercise as much as I am able to, but I’m limited due to a physical disability. Has anyone ever felt like this and overcome it? How did you do it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
