I’m stuck with what to do.. I’m only 27 but have spent 14 years dieting, losing weight gaining weight, despite not actually being an overweight child when I started! I was obsessive age 13/-15 about losing weight and so have a terrible relationship with food in that It’s all or nothing. I either let myself eat whatever I want which is loads of cr** that’s quick and easy to cook or I go on a strict calorie counting diet.. then somehow stop doing that and gain more weight. I did the 800 calorie low carb diet for a month a couple years ago and lost so much in that short time but put it all back on and then some so I don’t want to do that. I know I want to lose some weight as I do struggle with finding dresses to wear and feeling good about myself, though not bothered about being a tiny size or having abs..
Do I go down the intuitive eating route which may be a slower process but potentially more healthy mentally, or do I do a diet not as strict as 800 calls a day but slightly lower carb and counting calories?
I exercise regularly, running and swimming and walking and am quite fit. Just overthinking all diet things now, so want to just be happy with myself but if I do tht I end up eating like a horse
