Hey guys, I am new here and I know how many posts there are out there so I appreciate you stopped for this one.
On 2017 I was extremely overweight: 15 year old, 5' 6" (168cm) and around 200lbs (90kg), fortunately I realized and started my journey which involved tons of bad eating habits until I felt I understood a bit more about nutrition: calories, macros, some micros and I was losing weight. Then, something happened.
I discovered how added sugar was affecting my behavior and after quitting it for 30 days, I decided I wanted it out of my life (as well as wheat and things our body shouldn't have to digest), but of course, here I am writing this. I have been stuck here for around a year now on the following cycle:
- I decide I want to eat clean
- I lift weights 5 times a week (it's a schedule I can actually do)
- I eat perfectly for around a week or maybe more
- I choose to eat something unhealthy for a certain occasion
- I feel extremely bad (physically and mentally)
- I start binging on these types of food for a day or more
- I decide I want to eat clean
and so on...
I have been stuck here for so long now, and I feel really bad about this. I am a bit overweight right now and I have a quite high bf %, I want to lose at least 10% body fat but whenever I do lose it and get it back almost immediately. This is affecting my self esteem, my mind and the way I see myself.
Also, my friends and family think I am this super healthy guy (what they see) but in reality, I am a sugar addicted dude who hasn't been able to put on more weight since the beginning of this year.
(I have also tried going to a doctor because this is clearly an eating disorder but the advice he provides is really poor)
What can I do to overcome this without actually going back to the addiction?
