Re-starting my weight loss journey
Hi, basically my story is this.
At January 2017 I wasn't very satisfied of my body and started losing weight on a very very strict diet. I think some days I used to eat about maybe 600 kcal per day so I lost a bit of weight until a school trip we had about at April.
I'm a particular person, in everything I do I see things basically only black and white, I think this is one of the most deep things of me, so I apply this on my diet too, it's very difficult to me to keep on a maintaining diet because of this, so after that school trip in an hotel where I used to eat 4 meals and 2 desserts a day, I have never been able to re-start my diet completetly and as said I haven't been able to keep the weight I reached.
Since that January and the school trip (April) I lost about 37 lbs, but there has been a main reason beacuse I can't re-start my diet again. I started suffering from OCD in a serious way. The serious period lasted from July 2017 to April 2018 and I'm sure so far it has been the worst period in my life. OCD literally destroyed my days, it was the only thing I was thinking about all the whole day so obviously I wasn't able to keep on my diet.
Now, thanks to some meds and two awesome therapists, I feel better. OCD hasn't gone yet, but I can spend some whole days without thinking on it and maybe now I have just one crisis a week, or maybe two/three a months, so I have 26/30 days I feel ok. I think I'm ready to start again. At the start of July I came back from a school trip abroad where I lost 5 lbs because we walked about every afternoon for a month, and since I came back I'm vegan, which I see that so far it doesn't make me gain weight even when I eat a lot (so I think it's a thing you also can try).
The problem so far it's that since I'm in school vacation I see with my friends quite a lot and everytime we meet we eat kind a lot, so I have to manage this.
I wrote this mainly to help me finding motivation to keep on, and also if you have suggestions.
Have a good day, brothers <3
