Hi all,
I’m about 15 lbs overweight. I know it could be worse but i just think about all the clothes I want to wear and I would feel better if I lost those last couple of pounds.
My biggest road block is my food anxiety. I had periods of starvation as a kid, I’ve gone on meal plans and would get so anxious because I didn’t feel full after eating my allotted amount of food and instantly cringe realizing how long I would have to wait to eat again.
On that meal plan, I was also extremely disciplined by going to the gym 4 times a week, riding horses twice a week, and really active. Although I lost 20 lb, once I stopped, I gained 35lb back.
All I really remember from that 3 month period was feeling so stressed out, I was in school full time, working four jobs and taking care of my horse. There were days I would be up by 5:45 am, at work & school for 6:15, and finally roll home at 10:30pm. All the while blocking out times to work out and meal prep. Planning every second of my day is just so overwhelming to me now, idk how I did it.
Now, I’m in medical school. We have a lot more time w COVID and I’m only working one day a week. My horse is boarded so I don’t have to take care of every morning & evening. I have the time to workout & meal prep. However, the second I think about finding a new meal plan/work out schedule, I’m hit with this past experience and freeze w anxiety.
Anyone else experience something like this/know how to overcome this?
