So I've been going to therapy for the last 2 years or so after a cancer diagnosis (doing fine now, cancer free, woohoo!). We've discovered that I grew up with food insecurity due to neglect (I thought it was just a little abnormal, didn't realize how bad it all actually was), and this has a direct correlation with developing obesity and unhealthy eating habits.
Just wondering if anyone else has discovered something similar in their lives as they have been working on their weight loss too? Just. It's been a bit of a trip to realize that I have 100+ pounds to lose because of, essentially, being the victim of child neglect/abuse. It's completely reframed everything I thought I knew and understood, and it feels like it's lifted away this since of guilt or shame while also making me feel just so angry and kinda helpless because it turns out that it wasn't completely my own fault I got this heavy?
Sorry if this is too random or off topic for this subreddit. I'm just wondering if there are others out there who have experienced this too? How are you doing with all of it mentally, and how has it changed how you approach trying to lose weight in a healthy way?
