This is where I am with eating (but not so mild). I've been maintaining my weight for a long time using a lot of mental games to stick with my plan, but I just don't feel like I have the energy - mental or physical - to do it now. My mind is so stressed with everything else that it's just not up for more than that. So now, on top of everything else, I have the stress/anxiety of feeling defeated about my lack of willpower and worrying about my clothes not fitting when I finally give up my leggings/sweats daily outfits.
