Trouble staying on my goals

Lately I have been having a huge problem with my weight. I have never been skinny, but now I am at an all time high. I have not been this big since I was pregnant. I am having a hard time eating healthy. I want to lose weight, but at the same time when I try not to eat something I cannot help myself. It feels almost like an addiction. Does anyone else have trouble with things like that? How do you deal with it, what do you do to help with the urges?

Hi Wileykitt, just wanted to say you’re not alone and I’ve had similar experiences as you. I’m at my heaviest now, which I promised myself I would never get to. Unfortunately, a combination of work, university and depression has made it very difficult to stick to a healthy eating plan and I often find myself indulging more than I’d like. I have a particular issue with sugar, which too feels like an addiction sometimes. However, I’ve found ways to deal with this. I started off with meditation and later found yoga. I find it so useful when I’m getting those cravings to focus on something else. Yoga especially has helped me to recentre myself and shift my perspective. I also feel myself getting stronger everyday and it’s such an empowering feeling, which has made it easier for me to manage my triggers. I hope you this is helpful for you!

That’s very helpful. I never thought to try yoga or meditation. I’m not sure if those things would work for me, but I could try and find something that does.
