Dear agony aunt, I have had a bad day

Dear PopcornDragon93

I have had a bad day. I have eaten 800 calories on a binge over what I should have. This wipes out probably three days worth of work.

Here’s why: 1. I’m tired. I have been doing this for four months. This week I went for tapas Thursday (was good, still under), drinks Friday (was good, still under - drunk half a days calories), Saturday we had fajitas and watched a movie (still good) and today I looked at the scale and it had gone up since Tuesday by half a pound. I know the deal with regards to fluctuation, I know it might be water weight but I don’t really give a fuck today. I just wanted it to be lower because I’d missed out on things deliberately this week 2. My other half has gone away tonight for a week. His mother came round yesterday and had a pop around everything she could think of. My Nan has dementia now and she was a nightmare at Mother’s Day lunch today. My mother, aunt and family cannot talk about anything else but nan. Has completely taken over our lives and I can’t see an end to it.

Dear PopcornDragon93

I was sad to learn how you are feeling. You have done so incredibly well to get so far and lose 38 pounds. You have felt the benefits of it, and you love looking at the scale and seeing it go down. If a friend had done what you did today you would tell them this is a blip in your journey and that it takes courage to keep going which you will do. You would say tomorrow is another day and you would remind yourself it took years to get overweight and it will take a while to lose it. You would explain that emotional eating is a problem for you and you know and acknowledge that which is a great step. You would say that beating yourself up about it will help nobody and if you do that you’ll have had no enjoyment further taking the point away from the binge. You would say give yourself a break, take care of yourself tonight and do some self care things that will make you feel better. Love, PopcornDragon93

This might be a weird post but I feel like I needed to write a ‘to me, from me’ into the void. I feel better now. Stay strong all, and I hope you are doing well and can agony aunt yourself too x

I've lurked on here for awhile but never posted. Seeing all the changes you guys made helped my girlfriend and I finally start thinking about our health and the future. We we're around 280-270 at 5ft 8in. We promised to lose weight in January and decided to run with it. After looking at all the different ways people lost weight, we decided that trying to go vegetarian and counting calories would probably work the best. We limited ourselves to 1600 calories a day and kept at it. I eventually went back to meat simply because the vegetarian meat substitute was starting to get expensive (I can buy chicken patties and get twice as much for the same price). We haven't exercised one bit but we are looking forward to hiking and doing more Sports this summer. I used to BMX race when I was younger and I really want to get back to doing that or mountain biking. The biggest hurdle for me to get over was to stop stress-eating. I've had long standing issues with some mild depression

I’ve been “trying” to lose weight since June. I am OFFICIALLY starting tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the first of the month AND the first of a week, so it seems as good a time as any to get started. I got engaged in June of last year, and wanted to start losing weight for my upcoming wedding in July then. But I just... didn’t. I tried lazily to eat a little bit better and work out a bit, but I never made a commitment. I would LOVE if I would have started in June. I’d be so much further along! But now, I’m starting tomorrow. So in 3 months I don’t say “I’d be in such a better place if I started in April!” A quote I really love is: “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” So let’s get it! Excited to join this incredible and welcoming community, and finally lose this weight. submitted by /u/lilspaghettigrandma [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/b7vfnk/ive_been_trying_to_lose_weight_since_june_i_am/
