[quote=Anonymous]Help me get over a psychological hurdle. The thing that is going on with me:
1. the past two days I engaged in some work (not exercise) that made me suuuper sore. I’ve been working out in general, so this was surprising. Both times, I reacted by wanting to eat a lot. It seemed like it would make me feel better—fix the soreness. Dumb, it did not make me feel better, but made me feel tired and like sitting.

2. A year ago I successfully lost 16 pounds. (Highest weight to lowest weight, with some 2-3 lb range over that time). Just in the past 2 months, I realized I gained back 9-10) So more than 2-3 pounds of daily range.

3. I was food journaling / tracking during that weight loss. Not going crazy tracking calories but how I felt and what I ate. It wa so positive. Every day I think about starting it. But work/life have me mentally struggling.

4. I feel fuzzy in my head more often. Again, I think work and life are stressful right now. I don’t have mental clarity. I float from one thing to the next and rest l a lot.

5. I am working out way more often. Is this making me want to eat more? I’m trying not to overdo it. Focusing on weights, and light but long cardio. This is what I did during last year’s weight loss too.

<b>Tl;dr Any advice for breaking out of mental struggles to:
-start food journaling again? I put it off everyday
-feel better mentally?
-compartmentalize work stress? which I think is why I’m resisting the mental effort to lose weight again</b>[/quote]
