I've realized that anytime I have a big trip coming up I put a lot of pressure on myself to lose weight before it. I want to look good in pictures and bring my favorite clothes that are a bit too snug right now. I know big events and trips can be motivating for some people and actually help them lose weight but for me it's the opposite. As soon as I start feeling pressure to lose weight I start to overthink it and end up sabotaging myself. For example, I start to think "oh you shouldn't have those extra cookies because you're trying to lose weight for your trip!" and then I immediately feel like I'm restricting myself and start to think about how much I reallllly want those cookies rather than just letting it go.
I've been successfully losing weight and re-building a healthy relationship with food these past few months by avoiding those restrictive thoughts but now that I've got a big trip planned next month I find them creeping in again. Does anyone else experience this? Any tips for dealing?
