I'm about 5-6lb overweight, which isn't the worst but I've been trying to get to a healthy bmi ever since lockdown started and keep ending up maintaining at between 2-6lb overweight.

I don't know if it's lockdown but I have never found it this hard to lose weight or stick to a calorie deficit before.

I have tried so many things, 1200 calories a day then found I would binge a few days later as I was hungry then thought to try and do a less harsh deficit at 1500 calories a day. I still binge at the weekend.

It's the weekends I binge. I can't stop it. And I've found I've become obsessed with my next meal. I'm partly wondering if it's boredom. I work full time and I'll be honest im so fed up and bored, I'm active and go walking everyday and try and get 10k steps but there's only so much walking I can do.

I also have started drinking more.

Can anyone relate? I wish I could stop this and I feel disgusting. :(

I am seriously considering joining a self help group for over eaters.
Today's intake.
5x fresh pastries (4 chocolate, 1 cheese)
2xtubs of egg mayo.
1 packet of bacon.
Over half a loaf of white bread.
Half a pack of butter and half a family sized packet of Doritos.
Non of my clothes now fit me unless elasticated.
My confidence has disappeared and the tomorrow's never come when I will stop so I keep on eating.
I feel SO trapped.
I live on my own.
