I weigh the same. Not surprised. Had pizza this week and pasta and bread and the old bag of skittles left over from Halloween that has been stashed in the basement for 7 months. Have not been to the gym at all. Did walk 2 or 3 days and did calisthenics (the dreaded lunges, pushups, etc ) 2-3x.
So many have expressed frustration at giving in to temptation, lack of motivation etc. I hear ya! For me, the trigger is ANXIETY. I use food for "affect regulation" as they say in the biz. Some people use drugs, others alcohol, for me it's carby, sugary foods. It's all to do with the insulin/cotisol/serotonin/dopamine levels. Our bodies strive for homeostasis and unfortunately it can be a challenge, especially if homeostasis has been knocked off line by trauma or chronic anxiety. It's not hopeless though. Just takes retraining using new coping mechanisms, like exercise, meditation, breathing , guided visualization, etc. Whatever works that has 0 grams. In my seminar this week we learned how orgasms function as affect regulators...now I just have to replace sugar with SUGAR!
