Coming to terms with external influences

F20 5’6” SW 289 CW 264 GW 200

Hi everyone, this will be my first time posting and I’m so happy there’s a group like this!! I’ve been lurking for a hot minute. Everybody seems so great.

I realized when it comes to losing weight that I struggle a lot with external factors. It’s not me alone that was my issue with losing weight, but I’ve noticed that I tend to eat more when everybody around me is eating more. I would over order at fast food places, overfill my plates at buffet restaurants because everybody else had food piled on their plates, completely clear my plates and go in for seconds, even though I wasn’t hungry. Stuff similar to that, and I think after learning that I CAN say no to a snack every once in a while really helped me. I’m recovering from a binge eating disorder in the first place and I’m currently down about 25 pounds, long ways to go still but it’s going great!! I have soooo much trouble with fizz, external influences still, especially because I’ve historically eaten a lot so it’s still expected of me from people. It might be a weird thing to complain about or notice, but it’s crazy that that was such a deciding factor in me progressing in my weight loss. I was stuck at a stall for so long and couldn’t realize why I couldn’t get past it.

all that to say while I still have yet to overcome completely, I think it was useful to learn that I COULD say no to seconds or say no to hanging out/going out and choosing to exercise instead and no one would be upset with me. The habit building all around has been difficult, but I do definitely feel better now that I can see and feel the progress.
