How's your relationship with food going?

So I've been in a deficit since beginning of August and so far I've lost around 22lb, my starting weight was 178lbs the goal is to get to 140.

I'm pretty satisfied with the weight loss and I'd say I did it in a healthy way, I've kept track of my proteins, and I'd have a sweet from time to time so I wouldn't binge eat

What I've noticed now however, is that whenever I'm craving something like a brownie for example and I do take it, I don't really enjoy it anymore. Is it because I cut out all the junk food and sweets that I don't care for it anymore or should I actually be worried about a possible disorder

[TW: mention of ED] this weight loss journey worsened my eating disorder so much, I don't know what to do

Hey everyone. This is pretty much a vent about how my eating disorder intensified while losing weight and AFTER losing a lot of the weight.

My stats 18F 164cm, highest weight 105kg, starting weight (when started doing calorie deficit) 100kg, and lowest weight recorded was 70.5kg, and last time I checked it went up to 71kg on 14/10, but I binged several times during those 11 days so probably gained a bit more.

If you check out my profile you could some of my posts on this sub from several months ago, and you could tell that I was/am someone who is dealing with an ED. And when people pointed it out in the comments I genuinely thought they were gaslighting me and I did not believe them.

Before going on a weight loss journey I dealt with occasional binge eating episodes and mostly overeating (duh, that's how I became obese), but then after I started, I don't how but I became extremely restrictive with my calorie intake. Sometimes I would genuinely be fuming if I went over 1200 calories. I would be mad if I skipped a day without exercising.

And then one day, after months of not binging, I did. And right after doing so I went to purge. I think that was my first time ever doing self-induced vomitting due to a binge and I'm pretty sure I posted about it here too. Obviously, I felt disgusting and guilty.

I decided to take a break from being too strict with my calorie counting, and instead of consuming 1000-1300 calories I decided to consume 1500-1700 calories per day, and even so I was guesstimating them in my head. Surprisingly enough, I still managed to lose some kgs through that. It was perfect.

And then July came. 7/7 was one of the worst binge days I have ever had in my life. Even when I was obese my binge eating episodes were never this bad. And since then, my binge episodes have been becoming more frequent, to the point where it is now almost weekly.

Today I binged and purged again. I was clean for 5 days and I thought I was doing soo good and I had promised myself that from now on I will be healthy and never binge, purge or undereat ever again. I dont even know why I am binging, I have been eating 2-3 full relatively balanced meals with lots of snacks.

I want to be healthy so bad. I also want to lose weight so bad. I dont know what to do, it sucks so much. Today I started my day with a healthy filling breakfast but yet I was soooo damn hungry. My period is supposed to start today but it has not. I am scared I will never heal.

Someone told me that the reason why I am dealing with binge eating again is because of my restrictive ED that I had till a few months ago. I hate what I have done to myself and I hate what I am still doing to myself. But I cannot stop eating.

I am sorry for bitching and crying here, but I have no one to talk to about this. I hope you guys understand

Rate my weight loss plan as I push past the halfway point! 70 pounds down, 60 to go!

Rate my self improvement plan!

I’m 31m. I’m currently 6’ 2’’ and 280 pounds. My goal is 220 despite my ideal weight being 197 for my BMI.id like to achieve this by May 2027.

I started at 350 pounds in May. I’ve done the following for five month.

I eat 2900 calories a day. My food is very lean: nonfat Greek yogurt, grilled chicken, brocolli, brown rice, nuts, etc. I measure it to the gram. I used to eat between 2100-2500 calories a day but I’ve been told that was too restricted for my activity level. I’m not so sure.

I walk 15k steps a day… or get really really close. I love walking.

I lift three times a week. Monday and Friday are upper bidy splits with chest presses, curls, rows, shoulders, etc. Wednesday’s are legs with RDLs, farmers carries, squats.

I try aim for at least 7 hours of sleep a night.

I take 5g of creatine daily.

What do you recommend I do to improve? Are my calories ideal? How is my lifting split? Any supplements you recommend? I’m especially looking for advice for building muscles as I lose fat… it’s really hard.

walking for weight loss

I’ve been walking 10k steps now for about 20 days . Trying to stay in a 500 calorie deficit as well. My weight has barely changed. I’m feeling extremely discouraged 😕

Although I’ve been feeling really calm and have been loving my evening walks. But because i started doing this to lose weight, i’m really disappointed that my weight is barely changed.

week 1 - lost 2lbs
week 2 - no change
week 3 - no change so far

I’ve seen youtube videos where people lose 3-4lbs every week. I’m trying to figure out what i’m doing wrong?

Anyone who has successfully lost weight by walking, could you guide me? Should i be doing fasted walks? or weighted vest walks?

Feeling unattractive and undesirable even after weight loss.

Hi everyone.

I am 23F and 5’5. 2 years ago I was at my highest weight of 175 lbs, and something in me just broke for me to lose weight and eat on a deficit. I was sick and tired of being fat heavy and looking awful in everything.

Currently now 134.4 lbs as of this morning. I still look at myself with such a high level of disgust, undesirable and that feeling of being unloveable.

Like the previous poster on here earlier, I too have never been in a relationship and have had any experience. I feel too ugly and ashamed of myself for dating apps and to upkeep a social media profile, so whenever I join I am quick to delete them and keep a no/low profile.

My goal weight is to get down to the 120s and maintain as I have been there before and felt physically lighter. Recently I have been feeling very tired, drained, no energy and just quite woozy which I guess makes sense being 15 lbs heavier than my goal.

Will it ever get better? When does the confidence start to come through? I’m considered “slim” but I just don’t see it, and feel I take up so much space and feel heavy, disgusted and overweight in my body.

I feel that society stares at me because of my body type and general shock as to how someone like me is a part of society. I have no social life, no friends and simply go to work and go home. I woke in a high paced customer environment though so get my socialising and social skills there, but feel hideous and like I just want to hide ):

parents sabotaging weight loss

16m about 5’7-5’8 and around 145 pounds, I’m not fat by any means and i’ve been going to the gym semi consistently for 2 years so i have a decent foundation of muscle, but I would consider myself skinny fat. every time I try to lose the fat in my midsection, my parents stand in the way. they insist on “family dinner” every night, even when it is inconvenient for me. they get mad when I want to make my own dinners and don’t provide a reason why this is so important to them, just saying “youll look back at this one day fondly”. oftentimes the meal will be quite high calorie, and they’ll make a lot of food and encourage me to grab seconds, asking “did you eat enough food?”. whenever I eat dinner somewhere else, they make extra and ask me if I want any when I get home. I have developed eating disorders over this, skipping lunch and often breakfast, but binging at dinner and late at night because they stuff the fridge and pantry with ice cream/unhealthy snacks. Whenever I try to do cardio in addition to weightlifting, they get mad saying i’m “trying to avoid them” for spending 2 hours at the gym. My life is extremely miserable because of this and I just want to lose a little fat, eat healthy, and have a decent relationship with food.

Midway loss of motivation

6’1 M 29yo // SW: 262lbs CW:223 lbs GW:195lbs

Hello everyone,

I started my weight loss journey at the end of June with an aggressive caloric deficit and 10k+ walked each day. I was extremely consistent and got to around 230 by mid August, went on holiday where I gained about 6 lbs, lost that and have been stuck in the 220-225 lbs range for the past 6-7 weeks.

I’m still doing my steps and I still have multiple days a week where I remain in a decent deficit. But I’ve been getting late night cravings which I give into with takeout, I’ve noticed those days have been increasing. I really don’t want to slip up and I want to get back into my old groove, where for 2 months weight loss was actually quite manageable. Feels like I’ve lost my motivation and the discipline I was able to hold so far about a month ago and I’m fully stuck.

To the people that have gone through this phase, do you have any advice? Would be much appreciated!!
