How do I lose the rest of this weight?
To make a long story shorter, I lost 120 pounds several years ago (350 to 230) with consistent healthy eating and exercise. I'm 6'6, so 230 is about where I want to be. I got down to 230 around the time I finished college, and once I got my first "grown up" job, I started putting weight back on. I've never gained it all back, but have fluctuated between 270 and 310 pounds for many years now. Currently, I'm right around 270. I desperately want to get back to my goal weight of 230, but every time I put several good days or weeks together, I eventually convince myself that binge eating for a few days won't really matter. My logic is always that I've been doing so well, so I deserve a break. Then I lose progress, feel like crap, and decide I need to be disciplined again. So I put a few good days/weeks together, start to notice improvements, then convince myself a binge won't be the end of the world, rinse, repeat.
I realize it seems simple enough to just not give in during those weak moments when I want to binge. For most people, it probably is. But I am powerless when i get the urge to overeat. I don't even know how to explain it. Call me weak (maybe I am), but I can't help it. This has literally been happening for years at this point. I am a mere 3-4 months of consistent healthy eating/exercise away from being exactly where I want to be, I just can't freaking do it. I don't know what my problem is. How do I work through those weak moments? I so badly want to be comfortable in my own skin, I just keep sabotaging myself. I'm sure it's some kind of mental illness at this point. I don't know what to do, so I figured I'd make a post. Can anyone else relate? Was there anything you did to work through this? Thanks for reading.
