i had an eating disorder in high school and then recovered and gained a lot of weight slowly, over the last ten years or so. i am in a great place mentally and i am wanting to start trying to lose weight slowly so i can feel healthier. i sort of over-corrected after recovering.
the problem i am facing is that i am tracking calories, which i think is necessary otherwise i really don't know what i'm eating, but i can't stop feeling guilty about having something "unnecessary" because if i didn't eat it, my calorie deficit would be bigger. but the problem with this is that i know logically that if the calorie deficit is too big, the weight loss is not as sustainable and your metabolism and your body don't work properly (as i have experienced first hand).
but i can't stop feeling guilty and motivated by the thought of a bigger calorie deficit and i feel like it's making this whole process a lot harder for me. like everything i eat is a step in the wrong direction.
how do i stop thinking like this? maybe this is not an answerable question but i am wondering if anyone has dealt with a similar issue and how you managed to shift your mindset?
