I'm curious about more nuanced experiences and takes on weight loss. There's always the typical platitudes of just stop eating, count calories, drink more water, exercise, etc. But what about the less discussed issues leading to these issues?
How do you satisfy a sort of bottomless pit that is your stomach/appetite? Most questionnaires about eating disorders ask about eating past the point of fullness but I never really seem to "feel full." What's going to actually make you feel full?
Mental health ties to weight and eating. How do you navigate emotional eating/drinking (I'm a habitual soda drinker but I do try to drink about a pitcher of water daily)? Dealing with boredom eating? Attempting to fill the voids of your life with food.
Also chronic stress, I'm at a constant state of stress that never fully goes away, some of which is tied to current living situation and other life things. Things I can't change or fix instantly but rather just grit your teeth and bare down until able to get out. Chronic stress on the body tend to have significantly negative affects, how does this plug into weight loss efforts and the effectiveness of them?
Between environmental factors, chronic stress, mental health struggles, and questionable appetite, it feels like a never ending cycle. It's easy to say just eat less, we hear it all the time, but when you don't become morbidly obese for shit's and giggles or for funsies. These so much more, deeper issues and wounds to heal in order to make progress. What does it look like to heal and change these factors to make long lasting change? I feel like I'm crashing out.
