r/losingweight

i’ve been going to the gym and i actually do want to change, but i keep struggling with food. i don’t think my problem is that i don’t know what to do. i know i need to move more, eat better and be consistent, but i always end up going back to old habits.

i’ve tried fasting before, but it only works for a short time. after a while i either get too hungry, overthink food, or end up eating again in a way that ruins the progress.

i also struggle with cravings and eating when i’m bored or stressed, not just when i’m actually hungry. sometimes i feel motivated for a few days, then one bad day makes me feel like i ruined everything and i just stop caring.

All right guys I know that I’ve posted a couple times on this thread, but I’m currently down 325 pounds, sitting at 230 right now (555-560lbs last January). I’m officially doing something that was on my bucket list and running a 5K tomorrow and I’m in my head about my fitness level but I’ve been able to consistently run but I’ve tweaked my knee a little bit and it’s really discouraged me. I’ve determined I’m still going tomorrow, but it would be nice to have some people hype me up. lol figured I’d throw it out there!
