Help I've lost motivation

redd_dayspring12

I have lost about 90lbs but recently again struggling with binge eating and drinking and lost of motivation to workout. I also have borderline personality disorder and I'm going to therapy but there has been a lot of stress in my life lately and I've been trigger alot. Anyone else dealing with mental health and trying to balance weight loss as well?

I sometimes struggle with depression, so I have to force myself to look forwards; I may not feel like working out now, but how will I feel this evening if I haven't? Some days working out is a joy, some days it's a chore. But I've made it a rule that I do X classes on X days, so I do it. And I pretty much always feel better for it.

I've binged a couple of times, but each time it's because I'm mentally 'allowing' it for some reason. For example, I was ill last week so having extra calories seemed like an 'OK' thing; except that having given myself an inch meant I took a mile and went through about 3000 kcal worth of cereal and biscuits! But I decided not to beat myself up about it; all it meant is that it would take a week longer to get to my goal. Instead I focused on the fact that the pleasure I'd got from it hadn't been worth the way I felt afterwards.

I have a binge problem as well. Its like my brain just shuts off and I eat until I get sick. I don't want to but I do. I have lost 50 pounds. But I am afraid if I quit dieting I will be right back to where I was unless I get this overeating under control. I just don't know how. I feel your pain.
