stresseater

Loss- People at work fed my depression with cupcake and cookies. They were trying to help. Then I fed it more with pizza and donuts after work. I'm overweight. #stresseater

Win- Mixed feelings about calling this a win but I guess it is. Its self-care step. I got in to see psychiatrist- she prescribed low dose of alprazolam to help with my situationally increased anxiety. Also sat, talked, and prayed with a nun at work. I work at a Catholic hospital. I also made it through workday. I didnt make it through work day Thursday or Friday. I don't think my coworkers were sure I'd make it either. My psychiatrist was very nice- called me a passionate person, that its who I am and can't and dont need to change it.

I have been recently gaining a lot of weight over short periods of time and I noticed thati just started eating more than I usually did in the past and it's always when I am anxious I don't how to stop...

Has anyone taken vyvanse for binge eating or weight loss? How has it been for you? #Anxiety #stresseater #BingeEatingDisorder #CPTSD

When my stress heightens my anxiety goes off the charts and i crave food, all the bad stuff. But I gotta stop I just don't know how. #stressing #stresseater

Over the last few weeks, I have been really digging in with a lifestyle change. I decided to use #myfitnesspal and really try and make a difference for myself.
I began a #ketogenic change, and over the course of two weeks, I lost 6 pounds!
For someone like me, my weight is a huge self esteem issue. I was 95 pounds soaking wet as a teen, and in my early twenties I weighed 116.
Now, at 26, I weighed in at 243.8 Saturday. When I began this change, I weighed in at 252. I felt such a sense of #dread and #defeat looking at the almost 300 lb monster I had become.
#Depression had consumed me and I became a #stresseater .
Now, I am happily on my way to changing this, with the mindset #ireallycandothis !
I hope this continues because even just 6 pounds and I feel like a hero.
