I imagine there are a few people on here that would understand this.
I started my weight loss journey in January. For a few months, maintaining my deficit wasn’t too bad. There were certainly moments where I resented my roommate for being able to eat Doritos or I felt hungry/missed being able to eat indiscriminately, but I was feeling more energetic and I felt determined. The idea of getting to my goal weight by the end of the year motivated me.
But I have (and always have had) trouble with depression. It just never quite goes away for me, and it loves to stick it’s head up and say hello. I am seeing a psychiatrist so I’m not going it alone. But when the depression hits my motivation is zero and I also have such a tendency to eat to compensate for how little energy I have. It’s not even a purely emotional choice, I’m so tired and unable to do anything that my body seems to crave hits of sugar to get me going.
I feel guilty for eating above my deficit and I know I’m slipping, but then I also feel like there’s no point, I’m tired, I’m sad etc. I don’t even have the energy to think about eating better today, and that’s scary.
Anyone relate?
