Often when I try and calorie count to reduce my weight, the number 1 thing that throws me off my diet is realising how many calories are in the food I like, and thus how I have to either replace them with things I don’t like or eat way less of them.
I have an emotional connection to food as a source of comfort and regulation, and as such realising I can only eat one sandwich instead of two sometimes nearly breaks me into tears. It sounds pathetic, which I don’t disagree with, but in the moment it feels all the more real and brutal and often I can’t handle that stress on top of my existing mental state.
Has anyone experienced this and found a way to reach a place where this despair stops?
