does anyone have any advice for people with really bad anxiety and depression trying to lose weight?
I am 18F 5’2 and i am currently 91kg i gained over 20kg in about 4 months due to my antidepressants. I usually don’t care about weight but i am running out of clothes that fit me as i’ve gone from a UK 8 to a 16 (sometimes bigger or smaller) and a 32E to a 36G. My weight gain has made me feel more self conscious, anxious and depressed. With the help of a doctor I am off my medication and i am actively trying to lose weight. My mental health is terrible right now so i am finding it extremely difficult to leave the house , sleep,shower, wash my face , brush my teeth or drink water etc. my main problem is food and water. i’ve gone from drinking 3 litres a day to maybe 500ml. I used to binge eat a lot but since i’ve been off my meds it’s been better however i get quite anxious about the foods i eat which causes me to get stressed and starve myself for the afternoon and then eat something unhealthy in the evening. i am also a huge emotional eater. i have a fitbit which tracks how many calories i eat and sets a daily allowance based on a 750 deficit but i do go over when i haven’t done any physical activity as the allowance will only be 990 calories for the whole day . i’m getting sick and tired of having to weigh everything i eat but it seems necessary as i often have large portions of food. I’ve also tried intermittent fasting but i found that it gave me an excuse to starve myself which isn’t good.
