16 July 2024
I’ve been eating perfectly and exercising for more than two months, but my weight didn’t move. I got desperate. I realized the old methods don’t work anymore. My mind was so tired of constantly being in a “losing weight mode” for over a decade.
I decided to try something different and to dig deeper - into the reasons why I gain weight at the first place.
I recognized the existing eating disorder. Had to stop calorie counting and to go back to my body, trying to listen to it and its needs.
I am now learning to eat only when hungry, and to stop once satiated; to not overeat and not to force myself to finish every plate even when I’m full.
I am choosing healthy food but I don't forbid myself any food, and I work on making myself believe that there are no bad foods and I can eat whatever I want (which is natural btw, but years of dieting screw with people’s minds, demonizing food).
This has been challenging, I’ve been working with a therapist on my mental blocks and patterns related to food. Had to go deep into my childhood when I first started gaining weight and find the reasons. There was a lot of crying.
And now I am here. My weight finally moved!!!! I haven’t seen 76 on a scale in over six months. I am working with deep roots of my weight gain, instead of fighting the consequences - it was too exhausting and didn’t bring any results.
Now I am working for the long term, to forever get rid of the toxic habits and patterns that were leading to weight gain since I was 16 years old. I am building a heathy relationships with my body and with food. I am learning to love my body and not to treat it like an enemy. To not have to count and control all I eat till the rest of my life. To get back to the naturally “thin girl’s mind” that I was born with.
For those, who’s situation might resonate with mine, if you’re at war with food, with your cravings and with your own body - I recommend to read a book: Diets Don’t Work by Bob Schwartz.
It changes everything.
I am happy ❤️
