Have you tackled weight loss through therapy? (compulsive eaters) Have you lost !
Question: Have you tackled weight loss through therapy? (compulsive eaters) Have you lost weight and kept it off?
I have been struggling with my weight since I can remember. When I was 15 years old I weighed 270 pounds. My mother took me to a nutritionist. I lost 90 pounds that year. As soon as I reached my goal weight of 180 pounds I gained most of the weight back. Then, when I was 18 I weighed 260 pounds and began working out and dieting on my own. I lost 40 pounds in 3 months and stayed at 220 pounds for a year. Then my ex boyfriend and I broke up. That was a little over a year ago. I became depressed and used food to cope with my emotions. I have gained 70 pounds since then.
I am young, I feel I am pretty. However, my weight is really interfering with how I feel about myself. It's constantly on my mind, and I know everyone can see how fat I am. I can't believe I have gained all this weight. I used to be a sexy girl. I used to go on dates all the time, and not that long ago too. I am too young to feel this way.
I want to change this and lose this weight and keep it off. They say insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. I must be insane then. I think I need to tackle the problem at it's core, especially if I'm determined to work out, eat healthier and keep it off this time, for good. I see a therapist right now, for depression. I have mentioned how I feel about my relationship with food but have never gone in to detail about it. I haven't seen my therapist in over a month because I am in college and work part time, my schedule is kind of hectic. I am seeing her Monday morning. How do I approach this? Has anyone ever confronted their relationship with food through therapy?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Answers:
Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.
The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.
There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there's also the Jojo-effect.
Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That's an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn't that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?
Good Luck and Take care :-)
