Hi internet, I’ve been here so many times before but I’m back again. I’m nearly back where I started, but I’m determined that this will be the last time I ever weigh this much. I’m 20F, 5’2”, 215 lbs. I realized today that my size 2X jacket no longer zips up, and honestly Im thankful for the feeling that gave me because it’s helped motivate me to start holding
I know the basics of CICO and weight loss, but I need some advice on a few other issues.
First, how do I stop using food as a crutch—boredom, stress, anxiety, etc., I just start to eat. For some reason, I struggle the most not with hunger but with boredom. In fact, to be honest with you, I don’t think I remember what it feels like to be hungry. I always eat before I’m hungry because I feel like I should. I undo weeks worth of progress towards making healthier swaps in a few days because I get bored, eat a bag of chips, and start craving junk again. The healthier I eat, the healthier I WANT to eat, but it seems more difficult every time I make a mistake.
Second, I am trying to cut out as much junk food as I can, but I’m a student on a low budget with no meal plan and no kitchen. Basically, I eat a lot of lunch meat and lean cuisine. Does anyone have advice for lower-calorie swaps I could make? I am allergic to citrus, but other than that I’m not picky. I want to make a meal plan, only buy the things on that list, and stop eating fast food completely.
Finally, how can I be kind to myself? It’s so easy to fall into a spiral of self-hatred, which just makes me want to eat cookies. I know I am stronger than my food cravings and my bad snacking tendencies, but sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed and upset.
If you have any advice or words of encouragement, I would really appreciate it right now. Thank you & good luck to you all!!
