Really impatient and discouraged

pbandbananas1996

I just wish this weight would fall off of me right now. I'm not even overweight I guess (bmi of 22.5) but I weigh a lot more than I usually do and it's from eating too much. So this is obviously not the weight I should be at. I only really want to lose about 10-15 pounds but just last year I was dealing with anorexia so it's really hard not to go back into restricting my intake too much; I seem to go from one extreme to the other: restricting my intake to the bare minimum and eating enough for an active man when I'm a 19 year old girl.

I do well for a few days; it's easy to eat less when Im at work; but I always seem to end up giving into temptation when I'm at home, especially at night. I'm becoming more and more unhappy with myself.

What's worked for you guys?

Patience is really important when you don't have a lot of weight to lose, and it might be particularly important in your case. If you're sure you want to lose those 10/15 pounds, maybe just stick to a sensible calorie goal, don't pay too much attention to the scale and focus on exercise and general health and happiness? You'll probably feel a lot better, and (slow and sustainable) weight loss is still going to happen.
