Ok, so the short story is: In 2015 I went from 83kgs to 65kgs using sensible CICO, with a focus on protein, fat, fibre and bulk vegetables for fullness. In 2016, got weird for a while and I dropped further, down to 61kg, not because of healthy calorie restriction but because of some unpleasant and stressful life events that my body dealt with by, among other things, shedding weight. It freaked me out, and I decided I didn't want to lose any more, and would be comfortable gaining back a bit. I remained aware of calories but decided to deliberately let the whole thing go for a while.
Then, in 2017, life happened a different and rather better way. I got happy, I got busy (I changed careers and it worked out well), and I used food as celebration and stress relief in ways I used to use it before 2015. Which has landed me at 71kgs, and I'd really like to reverse this trend. But I'm trying to figure out why I keep trying, struggling and not quite getting back on the horse, because I can't quite seem to figure out what I'm missing. I think I'm struggling with resentment of the idea of it all, and maybe some ambivalence about the idea of getting fixated on my body and eating all over again, and I'd love some encouragement to move through and past that.
Any advice from folks who've gotten back on the wagon?
