I’ve dropped 42 pounds, gained 30 back, lost 45 more, and gained 50 back. I’m over it. Yes, I am a fat, ugly cow who will only attract men at the bottom of the barrel; I don’t care. Weight loss is extremely difficult, and I keep failing. I can’t go a day without bingeing.
Hey, I’ve had a binge eating disorder for a long time. For the time being, I would put weight reduction aside (if possible) and instead focus on receiving help for your eating disorder. Restriction leads to bingeing, creating a vicious cycle.
Try not to offend yourself; I know it’s difficult.
Determine why you’re failing. You are doing something inefficiently, and it is not sustainable.
Create a more modest plan that is easy to follow. This is a journey, not a sprint. You want good outcomes, not quick results.
Don’t do this to attract males. Do it for your health.
I sense some melancholy. Get expert help for your depression. Many people with depression receive treatment and go on to have a healthy, happy life. A healthy mind promotes a healthy body.
You seem to be pretty good at losing weight. 42 and then 45 pounds is a lot to achieve, and you should be proud.
Do it once more. Then attempt to focus on maintenance; it’s no longer about losing weight, but rather remaining where you are.
I feel you. I’ve found that trying to be pleasant to yourself and avoiding negative self-talk is beneficial. Even if you fail at something, you retain value as a person. I believe you!
