i have lost 70 pounds naturally over the past 7ish months. my weight loss journey over the past decade or so has been a rollercoaster; i have cycled between 250-210 for years in a constant cycle of losing and gaining mostly because of my struggles with food noise.
my abusive parents died from cancer last year and i think that it’s the reason why i have had 0 food noise. i’m happier, i live alone, i provide for myself and i am so happy with my life now. i used to be sad every single day and the only thing that brought me joy was food. i used to plan out massive amounts of food days in advance and order 5 sandwiches with 2 large fries on doordash. now, there are so many things in my life that bring me joy and i eat normal portions! i had hobbies and things that i enjoyed back when my parents were alive but now they are dead i feel like i am finally free.
my appetite has been smaller and i’m not reaching for comfort foods like i used to. i didn’t weigh myself from december 2025-april 2026,and in that time i’d lost 40 pounds without even trying because i was just a happier person. from april to now, by focusing just a little more on weight loss, i’ve lost another 30 and am finally under 200 pounds for the first time since 2019.
i know this probably isn’t the problem for everyone, but i realized that food was a very big part of my life when it didn’t need to be my main source of happiness and since then my weight loss and staying in a deficit has been easy!!! i hope it helps someone at least!!
tl;dr: find joy in your life & decenter food so that your life makes you happier than food does!
