That's such a bummer, Martha. But it's never too late. Hopefully some of these tactics that helped me can do the same for you, if you're really wanting to make a change!
Holy crap. These are all tactics I've been implementing over the last year and they've been life changing!!!! I've had the same struggles as you and these exact things have improved my relationship with food, despite how tracking intake and weight seem soooo counterintuitive
All of these tactics were super helpful for me in healing my relationship with food. I spent years following different restrictive diets and developed major fears around types of food (i.e. carbs, gluten, dairy, eggs, etc). And, while some mindset shifts were definitely needed, tracking my food and throwing out the diet dogma were game changers! I learned to better tune into my body and what it needed once the diet noise (so to speak) was gone. I also found weighing myself daily to be like immersion therapy. At first it was tough but eventually it just became another data point and no longer held power over me.
And here I am 62 stuck in those same patterns from youth…
