Focusing on losing weight and becoming fit has made me lose focus at my job

Losing weight does occupy my mind for the whole day. As a stress eater and binge eater, I think about food a lot, especially when I’m working.

I have been able to avoid food and maintain calorie deficit for the past month have lost around 4 kg. Although I’m happy with the result on scale I feel like the weight loss and food control is affecting my focus at work.

Another problem is my weight loss goals are the only goals I really seee. I feel accomplished if I complete my exercise and steps and eat healthy in a day. The sense of accomplishment helps me conveniently ignore the things I have pending at work. One of the justification I give to myself is I’m choosing myself first. But my work is also for me.

Have any of you faced anything similar? How to deal with this?
