My husband doesn’t think I’ll lose the weight

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting and I’m on mobile so sorry if anything comes out weird.

So as the title suggests, my husband doesn’t have much faith that I’ll lose any weight while he is deployed. Now he doesn’t mean to says this in a demeaning way. He’s just afraid that while he’s losing weight out in the desert I’ll be at home staying the same.

For the past month or so I’ve been exercising 3-5 days a week (running 20 mins & weights 20 mins). I started out with a keto diet but I’d end up forgetting my lunch some days so I opted for a 1200 cal limit. I made sure to make healthy choices on snacks if I was hungry between meals and I logged everything vigorously.

I started noticing small changes on my body. Some parts where shrinking while others were getting flabby. I’m pretty sure my arms are now larger than when I was at my highest weight. I’m very concerned about loose skin so I’ve been trying to lotion and drink a lot of water. I would have moments where I’d be proud of my shrinking thighs but when I noticed my arms it’d reel me back into a bad mindset.

To me, my biggest hurdle is my self image. For as long as I can remember I’ve always hated what I’ve seen in the mirror. I used be 130lbs in 8th grade and I felt just as fat as I feel now at 200lb. It’s doesn’t help that the scale hasn’t moved for the past month. So when my husband tells me that he doesn’t think I’ll change it hurts more than he knows.

Unfortunately this mindset was with me throughout the day and I succumbed to a binge. I ate so many personal bags of chips, cheese, carrots with ranch, and spam. I’m pretty sure I’ve got a stomachache developing.

So to get to the point, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Am I not exercising enough or am I not eating the correct things? This post was mostly to rant but any advice would be appreciated. Sorry if this was a little too long!

TL;DR - Husband said I won’t lose weight while he’s gone and it made me spiral into a binge.
