...See more I have been struggling with overeating for a very long time. I've been on the hefty side weight-wise for as long as I can remember. I love food, and sometimes I cant control it My parents made matters a little worse. They always commented "do you need to eat that?" And "save some for everyone else". I distinctly remember my 16th birthday. I was going shopping for some new sneakers with my father. While I was driving, he started to berate me about my weight. He told me that I needed to excercise and that the type of excercise i was currently doing wasn't enough. I was so hurt, and I cried the rest of that night. When I hit college, it was amazing! My parents weren't there to criticize what I ate and what I did. I started working out more, and ate quite healthily. It felt amazing. Fast forward a few years, and I graduated. I couldnt afford basic living expenses because I was working a cheap retail job. I had no choice but to move back in with my family. Cue skyrocketing stress, and I put all the weight back on plus some. Since then, I have moved out, but I still find myself falling back into those old habits of eating out too much, and eating more than I should. I lack a lot of self control as well as motivation. How do I get it back?
