How to stop self regulating with food ?
I have been trying to be in a calorie deficit of 500 kcal a day for a month now. I’ve failed for about 7 days total.
Every day is just a constant fight between my brain and my want for food. I’m absolutely not starving myself, I have enough protein and fiber, and still I cannot stop thinking about food every second of my life.
How much i can still eat, what id like to eat but cant, worrying if ill make it…
In general, even without a deficit I have to actively force myself not to buy 10 donuts a day just because I walk past the store. It’s like I fully have to talk myself off the ledge 36283 times a day.
Is that normal? Are those symptoms of a psychological disorder?
I just want food… always. Happy, sad, bored, not even sure what’s happening but a donut or a pizza or fries or toast or cocoa would be nice rn.
