Have you struggled with anxiety your whole life? How has that affected your weight loss efforts and/or weight maintenance?

If you've ever struggled with chronic anxiety while trying to maintain healthy body weight or lose weight I am wondering:

1. What were your biggest struggles and barriers to successful weight loss? (mindset, tools, knowledge, etc.)
2. How did you overcome those struggles/barriers?
3. Did you ever feel double-stigmatized (for your weight and your anxiety) when dealing with health professionals or personal trainers/coaches/nutritionists? If so, in what ways-how did they make you feel?
4. What is something people just don't understand about anxiety and weight gain?
5. Did you have to get your anxiety under control before losing weight and if so, how did you do that and what was the result?

Thanks everyone! Trying to understand my own struggles. :)
