So I’ve been struggling with a lot of stress for the past year or so and it’s resulted in a lot of weight gain. I can remember being ~125 at the start of freshman year, but lately I haven’t even bothered checking for fear of what my actual weight would be (though it’s almost certainly over 135, which is borderline overweight for a 5’4 lady). I’ve been regularly eating 2000+ calories a day, just eating whatever makes me feel good in that moment even if I’m not hungry or feel disgusting afterwards. It’s caused even more stress which translates into late-night snacking, binging and occasional purging + an incredible insecurity about my weight. I’ve tried sticking to weight loss methods in this order: keto (lasted a week before giving in to cravings), vegetarian/vegan (another week), CICO (a month), exercising at the gym (I haven’t gone in two months since AP week became an excuse to stop going), OMAD (couldn’t even stick with it for a day before mentally convincing myself I wasn’t overweight and it was fine). I can feel my impulsiveness and cravings getting stronger and stronger. I have no idea what to do or where to go from here. Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve weight loss when most people around you advocate overeating? My parents work and eat out nearly every day, and cooking my own food seems possible but proves to be a challenge once I can motivate myself to get off the couch. I feel like if I could find a way to control myself, I wouldn’t feel so disgusting 24/7. I’m aware that I might not be trying as hard as I need to, but sometimes I literally can’t stop myself even if I feel disgusting as I’m eating. I find it easy to get myself in the mindset but oftentimes it becomes just as easy to snap out of it if my siblings happen to be eating bread...
