I've been overweight since around age 10. I started gaining around age 8-9 after being abused and I put the weight on as a shield. I stopped gaining weight at about 240 pounds during high school and maintained that weight until I started college at 17. I had freedom to do my own thing and unfortunately I used that to eat a lot of ice cream. I started gaining again and have been bouncing between 305 and 320 for about 4 years now.
I've tried, unsuccessfully, to lose weight several times, but I usually end up starving myself for a few days, eating barely anything at all and watching endless hours of toxic motivation on Tiktok. It also leads to depression and giving up within a few days to a week.
I have started working from home and have lost a lot of functional mobility in the last couple of months and I'm tired of it. So, I came here.
I need to find a balance between starving and eating over maintenance. I've studied and studied, and I can recite plenty of facts, but I just overdo it. Do you guys have recommendations for very beginning stuff that won't throw me into panic? Also, I married a wonderful man and cut my abusers out of my life, so I feel like I am safe enough to let go of the weight now.
Thanks for any advice!
