I don’t know what my problem is this week. I cannot seem to stop binge eating. Chips, chocolate, etc. All I want is to stuff my face with unhealthy foods until I am overfull and then I feel terrible about myself. Help!!

On your period? Stressed? Bored?

like

I had a hysterectomy but still have an ovary so maybe it’s hormonal. Hard to know for sure but it feels like period eating now that you say that!! I forget about that since I don’t actually have periods anymore.

Definitely can be stress or hormone related. just like one meal or one week won't make you lose weight, neither will you gain. listen to your body for what it's asking for and be gentle with your mind and body! if your friend said this to you what would you say and how would you react to them. take care of yourself you're doing great!

Start your morning with a protein shake, then high protein at lunch on some type of Salad. It will reduce the cravings bc you will feel satiated.

How do you all manage exercise and meds? I take vyvanse and have a peloton, but am kinda scared of the heart rate increase combination. I find the vyvanse takes about 2h to kick in and so I try to take it by 6am otherwise I’m dealing with the “hitting me” feeling when at work (which has resulted in some really embarrassing situations). In the evenings, I’m so hungry that a workout is harder to do plus you never know when the work day will end!

Does anyone know why I lose more weight when I eat 2000 calories vs when I eat 1200 calories? For reference, I am currently 5’7 F and 128 lbs. I cannot work out for another month due to an expiring CPA exam so I am definitely losing muscle mass.

When I calorie count, I account for every little thing such as the vegetable oils or the tbs of salt. The 1200 calories is usually an extremely large meal + fruits + soup. The 2000 calories is usually a meal from a restaurant + fruits + a sandwich.

I have to express my fears somewhere. I think I failed both my graduate classes (teaching math and the other was Climatology fundamentals). My fault I know, so much going on at work caused me to be to tired that I struggled staying awake to eat dinner! My fault I didn’t express this stress and missed a few assignments. And you know what else stress does- makes it hard to learn and retain. If our students feel that way…that explains many things. Prayers that I did well and don’t fail.

Something that I didn't fully realise until recently is that almost everyone, regardless of industry, role or location, are showing signs of burning out. The 'new norm' is dealing with mental health issues, feeling tired, unmotivated or fed up. This helped me cope with it... I'm not alone, it's not just me... Sadly, very few team/project leads know or are willing to use empathy.

I finally got diagnosed with ADD, inattentive type, at 28 years old. I’ve known I had depression and anxiety for years, but the symptoms and treatment never added up. It took WFH in a pandemic to realize maybe I had ADD, and still months of being dismissed and made to feel like I was crazy before I found a doctor to administer the MMPI. I feel validated, finally, but I can’t help feeling grief too over so much lost potential and unnecessary failure, especially in law school and my career.
