Hi Everyone, its my first time posting to Reddit as I am hoping to find a community where I can be open and honest and share some of my struggles.. maybe someone else might be going through this too.. and maybe provide me with some advice.
So in 2020 I decided to say fuck it and go all in. No more restricting, calorie counting or going to the gym 6 days a week and no more feeling guilty about food.. I gained 30 pounds and ever since then, I have kept the 30 pounds for 2 years. I am ready to release this emotional weight because I classified as an emotional eater. FYI ( I have had depression for over 8 years and I just started anti-depressants.
I also struggle with body image.. i am very aware that it is all about emotional coping and nothing about the body. i have been to therapy for over a year but i think at this point im ready to just be a part of a community and hopefully find people that are going through the same thing and want to release this emotional weight with me.. in a sustainable and healthy way. I just need some pointers to help get me started.. I love to plan. but i dont execute. my body tends to be triggered if we know we are on a diet.. you know when you need something RIGHT NOW? and you dont want to experience delayed gratification?? yeah.. i have an issue with that., very impatient human being..
I hope there is someone out there who understands what im talking about.. HELP!
much love <3
