Hey, everybody. I'm F(26), 5'3", 181lb. I've lurked here for a long time on a different account and finally decided to post because, well...I had a major anxiety attack last night.
My incredibly generous and sweet mother in law got my husband and me into a pretty swank Washington DC New Year's party. And as fun as it sounds, I've been dreading it for days because of how much I absolutely detest living in my own skin. Two years previously, I lost a lot of weight for my wedding and got down to 147lb. But since then, I've gained it all back and then some. Trying and failing so many times to get back on the wagon has made me feel like such a loser.
I'm the type of person who has a lot of emotional control. I am very good at dealing with my emotions in healthy and constructive ways to help me solve problems, and I'm definitely not the type to wallow in self-pity. But my appearance and my body are the one area where I have zero emotional control whatsoever. And last night I lost it at the idea of spending an entire day and night in DC trying to look halfway like something while feeling like ten pounds of crap in a 5-pound bag.
I have all the typical bad habits with food. Emotional/stress/boredom eating, not dealing well with hunger, etc. And I'm mainly here to say...hi. I'm done ignoring this problem. I'd like to do a combo of keto and CICO and slowly start working out to create new habits. Anybody have any advice? Any pitfalls I should avoid? It's nice to finally meet you all, and I look forward to actually being a part of this sub.
TL,DR: I'm F(26) 5'3", 181lb. I'm sick and tired of how I feel in my skin and I need to get my crap together. I want to do some keto/CICO. Any advice?
