I’m 22 years old. Two summers ago I was at my heaviest of 410lbs and got myself down to 375lbs. It was a huge accomplishment for me however in the past year I have put all of it back on and more. I’m at my new heaviest of 419lbs and I felt so absolutely upset and angry with myself looking at the scale. How? Why? I was doing so good? Why did I just completely step backwards.
My problem is I’ve been obese since I was a child and genetically my whole family has had weight issues. My MAJOR issue that I do not know what to do is boredom snacking and eating. I sometimes during breaks or days I’m at home or away from college find myself in my room and just thinking about what’s around to snack on. I know in my head that I’m not hungry but yet I feel a need to just look even if I don’t eat anything.
I’ve used MyFitnessPal before and here and there have had success in tracking what I eat calorie wise. But I so easily do it for a month and then stop and then start and stop again. Currently I’m on winter break and not walking around campus to classes as much as before so I’ve already gained 10 lbs this month simply from that. But that doesn’t excuse the other 410lbs that I have on me.
I believe I am an emotional eater when I’m bored/stressed/etc it’s always something me and my sister have done since we were young and going through a messy divorce since I was 4 didn’t help when my mom was always leaving us home alone to fend for ourselves. But I’m an adult now and I’m even in a serious relationship and all I can think is how badly I want to loose weight not just for my health but so that I can start a family one day (let’s be real this isn’t a healthy weight to even try to have a baby with and start a family).
I need to lose major weight. That will come with time I know, but what can I do now? I find myself feeling hungry still at times when I track my calories yet know if I snack I’d go over my caloric limit. Where do I start? I’ve posted in this group before and still have never been fully motivated enough to take the leap I need to. How can I motivate myself and keep myself motivated especially working an office job partime and being a student full time?
