🧠 When Losing Just 6 Kilos Broke My Brain About Food

I was always naturally thin. Never thought about food much. Then I quit smoking and gained 6kg. I panicked. Bought a food scale, tracked every bite, dropped to 1200 kcal/day. It worked—until it didn’t. After losing the weight, I tried to maintain. But I became obsessed. I started bingeing. Ordering food nonstop. Thinking about eating 24/7. In trying to control my body, I completely lost control of my mind. Eventually, I stopped counting. I just tried to eat like a normal person again—big meals, snacks I enjoy, no guilt. It took a while, but the binges faded. My weight stabilized. I’m technically overweight now, but I don’t care. I feel sane again. I wanted to lose a little weight. I ended up breaking something I didn’t even know was fragile. Anyone else ever regret dieting when they didn’t really need to? #FoodFreedom #FormerRestrictor #BingeRecovery #MentalHealthMatters #WeightLossRegret #QuitSmoking #WeightGain #BodyImage #NutritionJourney #NoMoreCounting
