I am so burnt out from dieting.
I have between 50-75 lbs to lose to be healthy weight.
In the last 5 years I have tried everything, literally everything and at some point it becomes too much, it overtakes my life, my cravings are insane (yaya cut out carbs too), and I just gain it all back. I am so bitter and resentful, I'm in rebellion mode. I want to be healthy but I don't want to do a program or follow a strict plan ever again.
I don't know what the alternative is. I tried IE as well. I promise I tried it all. I just gained and gained and gained on it.
My therapist said I have a trauma response to dieting, I cannot get myself to do it again, I literally cannot go through the trauma of dieting and changing my life and failing again.
I am in physical pain from my weight. My joints hurt. I am out of breath just going up the stairs.
I need to do better for my body but I cannot diet.

This is what I want. If I could paint the ideal picture of how I want to rebuild my relationship with food it would be: I want my food to be no big deal. I want to eat mostly healthy with a treat here or there but for it to be no big deal. I want to not have to think and calculate it wrote down or cut out or plan. I just want to eat like a normal person. That's what I want. To just eat normal. Is there a way to get there? Can I repair my abusive relationship with food and my body and still lose weight and be healthy?
