Today I have decided to give up on weight loss all together

I have struggled with my weight since I was 4. I weighed 90 pounds by that age. I am not kidding you about that.

By the time I was 14 I was 200 pounds. I went on diets, joined a gym for teens but still could not lose weight. Developed an eating disorder at 19 and got down to 150 by 21.

A year later I had some cardiac issues from anorexia so I entered treatment. By the time I left treatment I was 163 and didn't think a thirteen pound gain was that big of deal.

Sadly despite healthy eating and daily walking I still packed on anywhere from 5-11 pounds per year after that. Some years I gained less others I gained more but I was still gaining.

I january of 2022 I learned I was 219 pounds. I thought it could not be but sadly it was. I feverishly worked out at the gym and list a grand total of nothing.

I weighed myself today and I'm 222. Sadly at this point in time I've given up. I'm 33 and have been dealing with the weight issue my entire life. I've been tested for pcos, thyroid, cushings you nsne it but nothing has come back. I tried ozempic in March and actually gained weight.

I've given up. No more diets. No more exercise. I just don't care.

Weight loss plateau? Why have I stopped losing?

About a month ago I hit a new lowest weight for myself, but since then I cannot seem to lose anymore weight whatsoever. At first I thought this was just the usual plateau so I upped my intake to maintenance for around a week and a half. Then I went back to being in a deficit and I still didn’t lose.

I’ve tried doing more exercise, mostly just walking more and doing dance workouts, hoping this would boost my metabolism but this didn’t seem to help.

I’ve tried lowering my intake more and making sure I’m logging everything accurately but that didn’t change anything either. I’ve even tried doing a couple of fasts.

I’ve also tried just giving my body rest, eating healthy and not stressing too much if I’ve lost, just in case it was my body being under stress.

I’m so at a loss now though, does anyone know what might be going on or how to fix this?

Antidepressants

I'm not going to blame all of my weight gain on antidepressants. But as soon as I got on them, its like it was impossible to control my eating. Off of antidepressants I can easily lose weight, as my appetite isnt skyrocketed. It also feels like antidepressants kill the discipline part of my brain . Like i know weight loss is just tracking calories/caloric deficit but im unable to do that on antidepressants. Its like my discipline for that is gone, and im careless.

Here I stand at like 255 lbs, I used to be lean and 185lbs 5'11. Seems like I gotta make a important choice. I'd rather be less happy then fat. Not like antidepressants made me happy ever, just made me numb and lifeless, and took away some motivation, been on 10 different ones atleast..

Can't fall asleep on an empty stomach. What should I eat if I need a late night meal/snack to fall asleep?

For some reason, I can never fall asleep if I have not eaten a meal 2-3 hours before bed. This has been really frustrating for my weight loss journey because a) I know you're better off eating a few hours before bed and b) when the feeling of hunger strikes, I inevitably go over my calories for the day because it's an extra meal and the alternative is to not sleep. I tend to intermittent fast in the mornings and this messes up my schedule as well.

Knowing this, I try to plan for dinner within 2-3 hours of bed, but it becomes an issue when I work late or stay up for other reasons. In situations where I do have to get up and eat to fall asleep, what would be the best thing to eat? Usually a handful of nuts or a light snack does not do it, but I'm certainly willing to try if any of you have something in mind.

I have tried many times to ignore the hunger, etc. but I just end up staying up. Trying to find a healthy compromise. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Relapsed on binging this week... What now?

For some background, I used to heavily struggle with binge eating. It's been a long time since Iast had what I'd consider a proper binge, however. I'd eat more some days, sure, but still be within my calorie allowance for the week.

After learning from past mistakes, I've been taking weight loss slow. My goal is to lose a kilogram per month.

I've been on my period this week and it ended today. This entire week, I've just been so hungry and binged on multiple days this week.

I did log everything I ate, and I went over my budget by enough calories where I gained around a kilogram of fat. For some people, this sounds impossible. Well, it's possible if you eat high calorie foods that aren't very big.

I feel so gross, bloated, and sluggish. More than that, I feel like I ruined a good month or two of progress by eating back the progress I made over these past two months in only a week.

What now? How do I not feel bitter at myself for going backwards? Even my jeans felt two sizes too small this morning and my cheeks look so big to me.

I'm looking for some practical advice; not just the, "Tomorrow will be better," type of advice, please.

Thank you! Have a great night! 😊

How do you regain motivation after not working out for a long time?

Hi there! I’m a 17 year old boy, 6 foot and 432 pounds. For context, I have been overweight my whole life. I don’t remember a single time where I was underweight or at the target weight I should be at. I had a trainer and a dietitian that would help me with my weight and diet. I was probably the most weight I lost as I was at 390 pounds. But in late March I had surgery to get my tonsils and adenoids removed. But after that was when all of my hard work kinda fell apart. My trainer had to be away due to undiagnosed heart condition which I totally understand that is the most important thing in his life at the moment. And the last time I had talk to my dietitian was the day before my surgery. A lot of things happened during the summer months as I was summer vacation and I had reacted bad to some new medication that I was using for weight loss, making me sick for almost two weeks. A lot of life stuff happened too which I don’t want to get into.

My trainer was the main reason I had motivated myself to get healthy as he and I have very similar taste in movies and games and he is very supportive when I try my hardest. Now that I haven’t seen him in roughly ~5 months I want to motivate myself in a way that I can do my own workouts without help from others. What can I do? I have no idea where to go from here and want to get better.

Tips for diet breaks?

Hi all! I’ve just about hit the 20lbs weight loss mark, super proud and excited! I’ve made some really great lifestyle changes in the past 6 months that I’m happy to keep indefinitely (ex. Weight lifting, walking 10k steps a day, reducing snacking/stress eating).

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a nutritionist and she’s recommended going on a diet break for 2 weeks, as I’m going on vacation and moving to a new city afterwards. I haven’t had any natural diet breaks. Then I can proceed with my final 10-15lbs of weight loss to get to my goal. This 2 week period coincides with my 6 months mark of consistent dieting.

I’m onboard with taking this break and have read/believe the research around it. My fear is that I don’t know what to eat with my extra 200-300 calories a day? I’m afraid when I add these back in I’ll get back into bad habits. How did folks on here go about eating on diet breaks and then transitioning back to a deficit? Any tips?

I’m 26yrs old, eating 1600 in deficit, 1800-1900 during my diet break, 2000 was my original maintenance pre-diet. I’m 155 now, started at 173 6 months ago.

Thanks in advance!
