I am (21f). When it comes to weight loss, the farthest I can recall is when I successfully lost the weight that I wanted at the age of ten. I honestly don't remember much, but I remember eating less and being more active (as children are at that age), and I dropped a lot of weight without requiring much thought.
Fast forward. Seven years later, when covid struck, I stopped being active and fell into depression. I gained about 20 kgs in such a short period of time that I didn't even notice. Since then, I've tried a variety of fad diets and yo-yoed frequently. I also developed an eating disorder (bulimia) along the way. I went to therapy for a while and am no longer as sick as I once was, yet I continue to eat a lot. Not in a binge eating sense because it isn't huge amount of food, but enough to gradually gain weight. And it's frustrating because I'm a model and carry 20 kgs (and counting) more than I'd like to. I want to lose weight, but I don't want to fail again, and I certainly do not want to fall for fad diets. & the clock is ticking. I’m 21 now. I don’t know how long I can be a model and the fact that I’m wasting it crying over eating more food that I wanted is not how I want to spend my life. I don’t want to live in constant anxious state.
My question is: How can I eat less? It has nothing to do with my appetite because I am usually full yet continue to eat (not large servings, just more than I want). I truly want to lose weight in a healthy manner.
I'm trying to express everything as clearly as possible so that people may understand, but I honestly don't know. I'm not satisfied with anything I've typed. But please help if you can!
Edit : I don’t want to count my calories since it makes me spiral + I don’t want to fall back to my eating disorder. However, it is the only thing that helps so far, but I’m afraid that I’ll be dependent on it for the rest of my life so I don’t want to count them!
