I’m new to this subreddit, so please forgive me for any mistakes. Back in high school, college, and a year or so after college, my eating habits were terrible. Packaged foods, pop, going out to eat all the time, never tracked a calorie. I also rarely exercised- maybe an hour or two per week at the gym just for fun. I also became a heavy pot smoker, so obviously munchies all the time. I continuously maintained somewhere between 140-150lbs, as a 5’3” female. For the past year and a half, I’ve quit smoking completely, although my alcohol intake has increased quite a bit. My eating habits have changed slightly- no more pop or packaged foods, and I rarely go out to eat anymore. I think the main problem is, my job is very sedentary. I try to compensate by walking my dog often... I’m not a fan of exercise, at all. I really just love walking, it’s effortless. The problem is, my weight has shot up to 200lbs. My doctor ran blood tests, all normal. I’ve tried every diet pill, I’ve tried keto, low carb, counting calories, waist training, and nothing is coming off. I’m being completely honest with myself here about what I’m taking in. I do indulge on the weekends, but I always keep it under 2000 calories with some extra walking added. I’ve decreased the alcohol by a lot as well. But I’m still not seeing change? It’s been several weeks. Not one inch off my waist. Do I really have to center my entire existence off of losing weight? I really don’t want to do that, becAuse it feels like a vicious cycle of punishment and hating myself. I hate my freaking body so much I just want to lay in bed and dissociate from the world. I feel I truly cannot be myself, cannot accomplish anything, cannot be respected at all until I’m skinny again. This is probably toxic thinking, I know. But I don’t know where else to turn. Can someone help?
