Just wondering how people et over this psyco stuff like:
Getting so frustrated with logging food and then going and over eating and feeling like a fat loser
Always looking in mirror and seeing what u hate first
Getting angry if someone in ur house is eating junk and u shouldn't have it so u fight the urge
Thinking people are gross when they buy certain stuff at the grocery store even when u know u buy it sometimes too.
Wondering wth ur problem s with not being able to stay consistent with healthy eating and exercise..
Not being able to adjust for change. Like when on holidays or out on a job or whatever
Thinking that a psychotherapist might be able to help with r weight loss..
There's prob other things too but I can't think of the, now.

I'm healthy weight I just hate how I look. Cellulite. Back fat. Pudgy belly. Can't fit into prepreg clothes. 10lbs heavier than prepreg. Wanting another child. I beleive I can do the work but why can't I believe that I can do the real work that matters- IN THE KITCHEN

Please be nice on ur posts. I don't really wanna hear stuff like how crazy ad dumb I am or anything. I don't think I'm dumb or crazy. Just hopeless in the kitchen even being type 1 diabetic. I really need some support. Good support. I am a wonderful but not many people know this about me.......... I don't want them to know. Frieds and family. They will just tell me to give it up. You look great.

    It sounds to me a little bit like maybe you are frustrated with the fact you are trying to get a healthy lifestyle while people around you are not. You have to realize that not everyone values having a healthy lifestyle. Some of that seems like a self esteem issue too because I know I feel the same way when looking in the mirror or overeating or whatever it may be. What helps me a lot is going to the gym. That's the way I release all the stress and honestly, it makes me feel a lot better about myself. Just the fact that when I look in the mirror and I think "ugh, I hate what I see" but then after that initial thought I now think, "thank goodness I'm working to fix it." That sense of accountability helps too. That you are working to better yourself. It's a hell of a lot better than saying "ugh I hate what I see, sucks that i'll be like this forever." See the difference?

    Whoever I'm in a relationship with has a big impact how I eat and activity level I find. Two times that I was single I lost weight from eating better and throwing in some exercise. Lost about 5 lbs a month. Don't get me wrong though, I still exercise and eat good now BUT eithe too much food and/or the wrong foods. Point is I must not be in a defcit

    The best advice I've heard in that regard is to learn to be kind to yourself, focus on making lifestyle improvements/habits first, however small(more vegetables, less soda, 20min of exercise etc). Focusing on the parts of your body you hate, the dreaded number etc can be fuel, but use it to fuel better choices instead of self loathing.
